With the Crookes tubes, is there any real concern of X-Rays?  I know they make them, but are the levels dangerous?

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.
