Ah yes, easy one-handed operation.

I'd like to add that it is important to use an *oversize* coil as Tom instructed. A while back I used a coil from a 19" set that was only big enough to surround the CRT as it was all I had. Even at a lowered line voltage, it pegged the meter on my Powerite and got too hot to hold in about 10 seconds. It's a wonder it didn't trip the breaker.

By the way, I've heard of using a 100-watt light bulb in series with the coil as a current limiter.
