I built the gun from the kit in 1994, but my wife used it a month ago
and burned it out while scaring off a would be attacker.
** Unfortunately that is an ILLEGAL weapon in many coutries - including Australia. So I'm out.

Sorry you feel that way, but I understand.? Where I live in the US, they
are not illegal.

By the way, it was for possible responses like yours which is why I was
hesitant to post further information, but Winfield Hill suggested it, so
I reluctantly decided to do so. If anyone else has to bow out due to
the possible legal issues, I'll fully understand. That being said, I do
see plenty of electronic devices far more dangerous than this that
people are working on all the time (hobby x-ray machines, for example),
yet I see a lot of information freely offered to such ventures.

No fucking way am I gonna be involved in advising on anything illegal or dangerous.
Trying to trick people into helping you is the act of a total asshole.
FSS go but another if you must, they are not real expensive.
As I said, don't participate then, if illegal in your country.
I have never seen somebody touting an x-ray machine around
to paralyse people.
If I ever see you waving an electrocuting device at me, I reserve
the right to use lethal force on you........

FYI to all,
This idiot troll sounds like one of them aging, hippie morons.
Flowers in his hair, illegal drugs in his blood stream and a brain devoid of all insight.
Expects us to set up a kindergarten here, to suit him.
But does nothing to help the OP.
Bit of a worry, that.

Not this I don't quite concur,
but you are welcome to your opinion. I
am not here to argue, just to procure the necessary replacement parts
and/or their equivalents.

It would be a good idea if you were to post a schematic,
then others could evaluate the viability of substitutes.

I originally contacted the firm that made it, but have not heard back
after several weeks, so I went parts looking myself. I don't trust the
ones with the puny "400 KV" modules that seem to be front and center
now. This one really worked and was tested scientifically at the time
which is why I'd like to get the replacement components.

I didn't know the topic was a stun gun. I bowed out
when I saw the picture of a woman with the device in
her hand and the guy with the big knife in her face.
The thought of her having to make contact, or near
contact to be effective, in order to fend off a big
knife, was what did it for me. She's going to get
hurt, and probably badly. If having a stun gun at
hand helps make a person bold enough to engage in a
close-quarters knife fight, that's not good. I'm out.

In that scenario it's presumably meant to be the knife holder that started it. You got 3 options:
Run away
Fight back
Be a victim
A weapon gives you option 2. Of course it's not always a good option. And sometimes it's the only realistic option.

Thanks, I wasn't aware of that. I built mine from the article and
company in that issue, which I still have although quite yellowed now.
There were a lot of great projects published over the years for just
about every area of interest in electronics.
