Alright..it is raining like mad in Las Vegas this week, so being stuck at in the house I am tinkering with some projects. I am building a variation of this:

Schematic:

to power a tesla coil. Now here is the question:
Because I really enjoy vintage electronics, I am replacing the solid state parts with tubes. I have the rectifier worked out, but does anyone have an idea what would work as a replacement for the 2N6059 transistors?? I have tried about everywhere that I know, and no one has an answer. For those of you familliar with tubes, I am thinking of a 12AY7....anybody??

hehehe I hope so! I have heard that a coil running that set up has been putting out 4 ft streamers. Amazing what people do when they get bored huh?

99: The diagram is for a quack medical device that uses high frequency electricity to cure certain "ailments". Now, the output of that connected with certain other pieces becomes somewhat of a lightning generator. Some guys, who have the money have built them 10 ft tall or better than can produce real lightning bolts in excess of 10 ft long!

Spidy: I would probably be better served in upgrading the computer...but it just doesnt have the same effect!

No it has a solid copper Thermaltake adjustable RPM fan, it ranges from 2500to 5800 RPM
It really helps with the overclocked CPU.
I just got some more memory on order for her.

Jarhead...about a 3 foot one I hope. Nothing "too big" right now. I don't have the space t run a giant one like I would want to build. That is why I am going with something a little more portable right now. Have you built one too?

I had the plans for a pair of pretty efficient 18"ers, but never gathered all the components. Give me a day or so and I'll find the plans and share.

Vegas,
You might want to look up Hutchison's Effect. It seems a Canadian fellow by the name John Hutchison has used a Tesla Coil and some Van Da Graff generaters(sp?) with some interesting results. For those who are curious he apparently has had tables levitate and put a steel rod through a 2x4 without harming the 2x4.

Wimshurst's Electrostatic Machine, I think this would show very well ,as a "static" display
