Doug,
There are brands other than Corcom, but that is a name that comes easily
to mind. I recall a discussion on the Hewlett - Packard discussion list
a while back about a different brand that was subject to messy
self-disassembly failures when they got old. I can't remember the
specific name, or find the discussion any more, but it wasn't Corcom.
No relation to any of the sellers. They are also often found at
Hamfests, if there are any in your area.
Much easier to use a prepackaged line filter than to try to construct
one from scratch by yourself.
Using RF bypass caps as Bert and Bill suggested in addition to the line
filter will help as well.

Hi Ed; Thank you for your reply and thanks also to Dave and Miles for
your replies. What I have is a dual ignition coil, dimmer switch and
24uf/370v motor run Cap setup and this thing is really "HOT'! I didn't
realize how "HOT' until I powered a 12 inch lightning screen with a 5
inch center plate on it. I had used the HV supply with a Jacobs ladder
and other stuff with no problems. When I powered the lightning screen
with it, which is really just a lop-sided Capacitor, it really back
fired! took out a fluorescent ballast on the same circuit and fried
the mains outlet it was plugged into! Luckily the mains outlet was
remote from the wall outlet, like an outlet box with a cord which was
plugged to the wall.
I tried to find something on [Corcoms] as some suggested but could
nothing. What I was hoping was that someone could supply me with a
diagram with component values, that I could build, on the order of the
terry filter.
