Re: [TCML] Is there a Tesla coil in my stove?

["Peter Terren" <pterren@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Mine has a little multipancake (perhaps 6 windings, high voltage coil with 
the electronics in epoxy. Not sure if it had a ferrite core or not but 
presume it did.. They looked quite interesting but I can't find my photo of 
it. Beefed up trigger transformer type of set up.
