Hello,
I'm building a music playing mini-tesla coil from a kit for a friend. Inside there was this odd component that I'm not sure is even supposed to be there let alone where it should go if it is (it's not in the schematic or picture of the finished product). I was hoping someone here could tell me what it is exactly? I thought it was an LED at first but it doesn't look like other LED's, and the 2 little "sticks" inside are totally separate from each other. Or is it a capacitor maybe? Thanks for any help.
