Gary,

Very cool! Seems to be running very nice! I really like the cleanliness of
the coil. The primary
sure looked like a lot of work. This would be a rather low voltage coil
with a single MOT
(right?). Great job and thanks for showing it. I've got a 1" x 6" coil I
wound a few years ago
and a couple MOTs sitting around (some MMC caps too). Hmm, I may have to
see what the little
beast can do.

For your palm coil, the spools used for those 50 cd packs might be about
right. Includes
secondary form, primary form, and some even come with a screw on cap which
could make a decent
top load form (grin).

Take care,
Bart
