In case it might apply, when I built this igniter: http://wallacecompany.com/machine_shop/Ignitor/ I expected to get interference on my radio in the shop, but it down right stopped it from working altogether. I was a little surprised that the interference came from the igniter back into the mains then to the radio mains input. The filter shown cleared up the problem and no radio emissions either. I happened to have the filter left over from another project, and got to thinking, in a pinch, it would be nice to be able to make one up from typical junk bin parts. If anyone can shed light on this, I'd appreciate it. I noticed some small filters (power cord socket / switch / filter unit) on some junk telecomm equipment I have, that may be a good source for filters too.
