I should have a cost figured out in a day or so. The cost shouldn't be too

Other than fabricating a board and winding the transformer the rest can be
found anywhere (even at radioshack if you were
desperate enough).

It is kind of ironic. The cap value of one microfarad and the voltage
(300V) are the same we were using 40 years OK for our tube type CDI.
The only real difference is the frequency of the power converter.
Back in those days we used what was called a vibrator which was
like a relay that oscillated at 60 cycles per second. Naturally the
transformer was a lot larger and heavier.
