Hello, I'm a 16 year old high school student, who would like to do an
interesting high-voltage elctronic project. :)
        
        Anyway, I have some questions to ask.

        Firstly, does anyone have plans for a first time, inexpensive,
yet
fairly impressive coil? I am familiar with electronic concepts, but 
have rarely put them into practice.

        Secondly, could any of you tell me what precautions should be
taken
with a project such as this? I've never worken with high-voltages before
this.

        Lastly, I rescently purchaced at auction a 1967 Sony Video   
 Recorder (VTR), which came with an old, custom B&W TV monitor (serial# 
CUM-18OU, by Admiral). I was wondering whether or not there was  
anything usefull that I could cannibalize from the TV for the coil, 
(such as vacuum tubes). 

        Thanks,
                Sam Fischbach
