A Dissected Ignition Coil

I knew that, and skipped using it to fry my french fries.

LOL, I've probably got enough old military filter caps in the basement to kill half the neighborhood. I used to "piddle" in amateur (and legal, not CB) linear amplifiers. I've forgotten, old Swan pair of 3-400's, Heathkit, pair of 3-500Zs, a homebrew with 4-1000A, a nice little military with 3 4cx-250Bs, a homebrew 8877, an old Hallicrafters converted to 813s, and a Drake along the way. Probably a couple more I've forgotten. These days, a single 3-500z, in an Ameritron. Oh, and a Transworld / Metron 1000 something solid state mobile amp. Parts and pieces I'll never use.

And I'll tell ya, with that kind 'o stuff, you don't LEARN to be careful, you just plain BE careful. No second chances. Some of them are 240V AC supply, and the 4x1 ran something on the order of 4KV on the anode. Some of the rest were a "mere" 2500-3KV on the plates.
