I'm assuming that this is the remodeled original GOTC, unless the one at that huge electronics store somewhere in N. California is the "original".
http://www.ttr.com is Bill Wysock's site. He did the restoration and built the replicas alluded to above. There's quite a bit of info about the coil at the Griffith Observatory on the site.
