Hi All.  But did not Tesla and old time coilers always say that we should
use the thinnest wall possible in our secondaries?  Seems that Richard
Quick also recommended using the thinnest wall form possible.  And Tesla
got great results with skeleton frame wound secondary coils. (check out
his big secondary at Colorado Springs).  Maybe we should not rely so much
on these new plastics and give skeleton forms a try?  Wood&Paper worked
for Tesla and they work well for me.  The more things change, the more
they stay the same!    AL.
