I just want to second the suggestion to go see this coil. I went to
see it with my Wife and a friend on Friday last week. We got to
see it at about 1/3 power I think. It was incredible, it truly is a
work of art and science. We were very impressed with the fantastic
workmanship!
Thanks for the opportunity to see it Greg!
