 Doug,
 
 As a renter of professional Tesla coils (to TV, Film and
 Theater) I find your cost estimate for a seven foot capable
 coil absolutely incredible.
 
 Yes, I know we're talking about apples and oranges (big time),
 but even the worst homebuilt death trap is going to cost more
 than $200.
 
 If somebody wants to get into coiling on a hobby level, I feel it is
 only fair to warn them that they need to shell out more than $200
 to get seven footers.
 
 For professional rentals to professional clientele, see one of the
 professional companies on this list such as Tesla Technology
 Research, Lindsay Scientific Co., Wingate Electric, my company
 kVA Effects or others.

Jeff,

I had to laugh when I read that also.  I remember a few years ago when I
started building my first coil (since high school many years ago) my wife
asked how much it was going to cost and I told her maybe $200.00.  Well, many
hundreds of dollars later (and probably still not done) she still mentions
that to me once in a while.  Big sparks are definitely not a cheap hobby.
