Hallo,

he-he - imo you don`t need any scope tuning, coz as somebody said
(can`t remember who and can`t find it by using
http://www.pupman.com/htsearch.html
this "search" can`t find anything at all - try it yourself % D):

"I see the same thing on both of my coils.  The 6" uses a
nonsynchronus gap and the 3" uses a static gap.  Both made with high Q
materials and relatively short primary interconnects.  If the best
tune seems to be at say turn 13, I can definitely tell the differnence
between turn 14 or turn 12, but not between 12.5 or 13.5.  I think
these coils, when running actually have quite a low Q due to the
discharges loading the secondary."
