To All:

Last chance to holler for a few Copper spheres (2", 10, 12, or 14") here's 
the link to check out the prices and metal specifications, about 1/2 the 
'normal' price:

http://www.tesla-coil-dot-com/BulkSphereBuy.htm

The prices are for 10 pcs of each size and I just confirmed that they'll 
honor that price for any quantity based upon the sum total of the 
prospective order (10 and 12" orders were 2 and 4 pcs, respectively).

I'm testing a new metal protectant (anti-oxidant) suitable for copper, 
brass and aluminum.  I'm thinking of using this to treat  cu 
strapping/tubing in the tank circuit, primary coils and topload and I still 
need a few other participants, email me if you have a coil or two up and 
running and will report back on its effectiveness (or lack of it).

I've got serious parts (most all of the silicon) accumulated for a PSSTC 
assault, anyone have components to trade?????

I just blew 1 maybe 2 Franceformers (15kV, 60mA) and have given up on the 
bypass caps and am outfitting each with its own Terry Filter (yeah, yeah, 
I'm a dummy).  The design I have calls for 12 0.0033uF, 1600v ECW-H series 
Panasonic caps.  I have ECW-H12H222P1, the same pulse discharge, 
metallized, polypropylene, self-healing caps but these are 0.0022uF at 
2000Vdc.  8 of these in series gives you the exact same capacitance, i.e., 
0.000275uF but at 16,000Vdc, a bit lower than the 22,500Vdc of the other 
but it doesn't matter, just keep the input voltage to 15kV or less.
Price?  Basically not much, say, 4 for a dollar but cover the mailing cost 
and they don't weigh much.  I'm still trying to find a nice source for the 
1 kohm, 100W power resistors, they're around 7 or 8 dollars each thru 
normal distribution, I'm trying to find these in an 'excess situation' so I 
can scoop up a bunch for 0.50 or 1.00 each.  We'll see.  Got Pulse Width 
Modulators?
