RadioShack resistors

Ted says:
I used 100, 10Mohm, 1/2 RS resistors at the penny per price which I ordered
and received in 24 hours from radioshack-dot-com in my MMC. Absolutely no
problem with a 15KV, 60mA NST supply and 100 Seacor .047/1600 caps. They can
be seen clearly on the back of the last of the 5 perf boards in the photo

of course if you live in a city such as Denver, Tempe and Atlanta, you can
shop on site so to speak.

	WARNING:  Although RS doesn't list the voltage rating of those
little
resistors, a typical value is about 200 VDC.  If I were using them I'd
put enough in series (across each capacitor) to make sure the voltage
was less than about the 200 I mentioned above.
