I would be REAL sure how the power co felt about "looting" before helping
myself to downed 'pigs. They have a cash value... And unknown ones may or
may not have PCBs' in them....
======================================
A little about the Colorado Springs coils, which Richard Quirk mentioned
briefly, but may be worth expanding on. The "fence" visible in the photos is
the _secondary_. The primary is a single turn, almost invisible, down near the
floor. The visible coil up in the air is a "tertiary" or "extra" or magnifier
coil. (actually, if memory serves, different coils appear in different photos,
some are apparently just "test equipment".
Like most people looking at the pix, i had ASSumed the 'fence' to be the
primary. Wiser heads than mine, studying the C Springs Notes sorted out the
difference....
