John:
The current capacitance in use totals .075 mfd, so it's a good sized tank
cap. I have not tried offsetting the electrodes, however the way I built
the rotary would make this a pretty straight forward change. I've already
had to pack up my coiling for the winter since I needed the garage back,
already there's several things on my to-do list for next spring! I wish I
had a warm spot to run during the winter. I could take everything to work,
but it might be hard to explain if the computer network or anything else
started to perform in a less than predictable manner :^)
