I agree with Bert, lower the rail, flip it to the outside of those supports. 
Almost looks like you're using u-bolts to connect it to the supports.  Use 
something insulated like zip-ties or wire holders.  Also make sure it is 
perfectly smooth in radius and also in a flat plane as related to the 
primary.

Nice output!

This is a picture of our coil with the 'new' 60ma NST with 135uF run
capacitors.

You can see one of the flashes (possibly caused by lint) and a strange
corona running like 4 searchlights from the top of the strike rail
supports (insulated) up to the toroid - we've never seen that before -
anyone know what is causing it?

I'll clean and varnish the coil and take another picture when it's
ready.

Steve
