One question is bothering me: this might be a stupid one...
Because I have read often that a discharge from the secondary stroke the
primary and damaged something, isn't it possible to shield the primary
with a sheet of acryl (or other plastic)?
I tought to cover the primary with a sheet of 5 mm acryl plastic and, on
the top of it, place the strike rail.
Could it possibly work?
