Bob,

I set mine at .020" for a total gap of .080" (IF I'm comfortable with the
rigidity of the complete SRSG setup).

Regards,
Brian B.

Hi all,
    I have almost finished my rotary gap and am at the stage of
adjusting the gap spacing. Anyone suggest a good starting point for the
gap. I am running a 8 kv 250 ma radar transformer with up to 97 nF of
cap into a 10" x 42" secondary. It is drawing around 12 amps from my 240
volt supply. The electrodes are 4.8mm tungsten. I am using 4 flying
electrodes and 4 static.

cheers
bob golding
