I alreaduy have made a spark gap tc.  There are so many differnent 
transformers out there, from audio transformer rated in ohms to the common 
low voltage, high current filament.  I wanted to be really specific.  I 
CANNOT have any other kind.  I really don't like people cautioning me, but I 
understand the concern.  I can handle this project.

Thanks,
R.
