Heh, not quite.. You'll never catch me outside of 
a Faraday shield, shooting dart leaders off of my
eyebrows!  Catching arcs is "Sparky's" job around 
here.  < http://www.lod-dot-org/sparky.jpg >

I personally _hate_ getting electrocuted.

BTW, I've got the 500lb 120L50K secondary mounted
on the old Electrum winding jig, and have all the 
5000ft of 8AWG removed at the moment.   I hope to 
clean up the fiberglass coilform, repair a number
of nasty carbon tracks along the wooden verticals
and rewind the beast in time for this weekend.

Amazingly enough, the dust-covered servo amps and
footpedal controls for the winder all still work.
Many thanks to Kevin Ottalini for his disassembly
help and wood machining.
