Re: [TCML] my medium sized tesla problem

Hi Mike,



With the setup you describe, you really risk killing your NST AND your cap. The safer arrangement for the parts is as follows:



X----------------CAP---

X   G                  P

F   A                  R

M   P                  I

R-----------------------



Maximum gap setting should not exceed 5-6 mm.



Hope this helps,



Matt D.
