Re: [TCML] Cute Little Transformer



MOTs have sat on my mind in search for bigger arcs, and as easy as they are
to obtain, I can't justify not doing it. But this particular coil is meant
to be runty. It's for a friend of mine. No electrical background so MOTs
not wise here. I guess time to see what this ballasting is all about.

I guess these things aren't too expensive, I may just have to order a
backup, and abuse the hell outta the other one. You know, for science.
