Hi everyone!
My first TC turned out to be a design loser,
the max. spark was 6",but i learned alot.
One thing i learned was about this list and
the knowledge of the people on it!
For my next coil i want to use a 7.5" thin wall
pvc form i have, along with a 15k 60ma neon.
Before i begin,does anyone have suggestions
as to wire size on the secondary and the primary
type?I want to be able to increase the voltage later
and use the same secondary.
I know without a pole-pig i wont have a fire breathing coil
but i want to maximize what i've got.

Thanks, Rick

My tc ckt,as i have it now:
