Who cares?!?!
So maybe he calls it a tabletop coil.

I think that when you have money and access to all kinds of parts, you 
forget that you have a major advantage over others.  Do you really think 
that hes gonna ditch his good working coil, and go build a small coil that 
will prabably cost as much as his current larger coil cost him??  I see 
people advising other coilers just to go out and buy "this and that", "its 
not that much money for a new capacitors....".  When you have all of these 
things, you tend to forget how it can be to not have them or be able to get 
them.  Do you really think that he's bummed that he's getting large arcs, 
but as it happens, its doesnt really fall into the class of "tabletop" like 
he said.


why would anyone want to ditch the PT???

Vasil:  Good use of what you have got, good arc pictures too.  I really like 
the extensive work you do with static machines (the bonnetti)
