What about Richard Golka's Magnifier? Supposed to have reached 105 feet?
The photo is at 
ftp://ftp.funet.fi/pub/sci/electrical/tesla/pictures/misc/tesla50.jpg 
+ .doc

A very impressive photo I might add too!

But I guess that's not a traditional 'Tesla Coil' (primary-secondary) 
setup....can we classify the magnifier in this 'long arc' phenomena?

Cheers!
