1) Test equipment won't make a coil better or worse.  It just helps one 
figure out what's wrong when things don't work at all.
2) Who says Tesla's coils were better than what we're building?  Better, as 
in "more efficient"?  Surely his glass capacitors had higher losses than 
modern polypropylene caps.
3) Good question about what Tesla used, none the less.
