Hi Curt,
 
We used ignition coils to light Geissler tubes ca 1959. They worked very  
well.

I've recently come into possesion of some Crookes and Giessler  tubes.  Can 
anyone suggest a good (and simple) power supply to run these  things? 

Would an automotive spark coil/light dimmer setup be  appropriate?

Thanks,

Curt.
