Dale,
The 42" spark TC is an ordinary TC, except it has a synchronous
gap. Of course a sync-gap can be considered to be ordinary. I can
repost the full specs if you'd like. You can definitely expect more
than 10" spark from a 15kV, 60 mil trannie, but you might want to make
up a larger secondary. I estimate that my coil would give about 36"
sparks using a regular series static gap.
