Gar,
I went shopping for parts at the local surplus store. Came
home
with megatransformer 110->800, 1000v diode bridge, .5uF
1000V cap, 5Meg 2W resistor AND a spark plug..also a nice
plastic case to mount it all in. Also got a switch to select
between DC (400V) or ac 800V.
I'll test how good it is at collecting dust at DC vs 60Hz
for now.
 
I just have a general question, for anyone...
5Meg resistor in series with the secondary should make it
fairly safe
in case of accidental contact? There is a 1.5A fuse on the
primary.
All the switches are in plastic cases with plastic buttons.
