Hi All, Weazle!

 I've got one!  Check
http://sundog.timeship-dot-net
under the 3" coil section.  I've used it on my 3" coil with pretty good
success.  I've run 3kva through that gap with no trouble other than noise.
Quenches excellently, runs reliably, and enclosed in the PVC pipe like it
is, there's not much light leakage.  Build one and run the heck outta it!
You'll be out maybe $50 total to build one from scratch with all new parts.
It's easier and less fuss than a SRSG.  If you have a TCBOR gap, it's pretty
easy to convert to STSG.
