Probably not.

You may have noticed that of all of the coils seen on the web and 
elsewhere, no two are the same.  This is due to several factors.

While folks wishing to be creative and unique may account for some 
diversity, the main reason is one of simple economics.  If folks followed a 
plan, they would have to use only the prescribed NST, and the prescribed 
capacitor, and the prescribed top load, etc.  The odds of finding these 
specific parts cheaply at a flea market or sign shop are remote.  So, you 
scrounge for whatever cheap/free parts you can find, and then have to be 
competent to juggle the other design parameters to accommodate your 
particular mix of parts.

Start by finding a used NST, then come back and ask the List where to go 
from there.  You'll get 20 different answers, but that's how you 
learn.  Besides, this wouldn't be any fun if it were as simple as following 
an Easy Bake Oven recipe.
