Don:
	Looks like it really did give off quite a pop.  Sorry for the hit on
your wallet.  Just for information,  my cap was run while laying on a
sheet of 1/2" thick acrylic plastic.  I had posted some pictures of my
system that showed the cap lifted up right under the primary, about 8-10
inches beneath it originally.  Several in the group speculated about the
effects of the primary field on the cap, so I laid it down on the system
base, about 22" beneath the primary on the acrylic sheet.  So far it has
been O.K.  After seeing your photo's I feel lucky right now!

Chuck
