Mark,
That definitely gives me something to think about on the coil I'm designing
(my first in 17 or 18 years). Thanks for the reply.

p.s. I just discovered a _huge_ sign company/warehouse only four avenues away
on my street in NY...talk about conveniance! Picked up a Jefferson 15kV 60mA
for fun small scale stuff in my apt (the apartment is way to small for a
Tesla coil. That'll be out at my folks place in the country this summer).
Seeing these big old signs lying around with _banks_ of big HV outdoor
transformers in them....what can I say, it was a beautiful sight.
