Well, my tesla coil was running pretty good.....no overheating, everything 
in balance.  Using a 15kv  30 ma NST as input and getting 22" sparks.  the 
tank capacitor was commercial from Plastic Capacitors.   I havent had any 
problems untill i ran the primary coil by itself.  I believe that the 
capacitor has died and im not sure how to test it.......anyone have any 
suggestions.
