Very nice little coil! Impressive craftsmanship and of course lovely streamers. What is a good source for those little baby core and coil neon transformers?

> Uses a 4" copper ball, 3" phenolic form, antique spark gap, doorknob caps and a couple of hard drive disks,
> a tiny 3500V 8mA baby core & coil neon transformer. The sparks aren't as impressive as with a pancake coil
> and same supply but its easier to carry. 4" sparks and 6" effluves and coronas. Secondary wound with 29 AWG.
> 1" ribbon and EPDM rubber used for Primary Coil. 6" diameter x 1/2" thick phenolic forms. A 200 turn (9" OD) Pancake coil will make
> 4" sparks and 12"+ coronas, just for reference (but not nearly as easy to carry). Caps measure just a tad under .01 mfd.
> Footprint: 6" diameter and 14" tall total. A fun little project, but honestly as much work as a big coil ;) !
