Ed:
Here are the latest specs

Sec: 17.5" x 24" (D x H), 192 turns #14 ga machine tool wire

Pri: 23" dia. solenoid wound. 6 turns .375" copper tubing spaced .25"

Cap: .014uf

Toroid: 5.5" X 28"

Input: 12kv -at- 60ma

Gap: sync rotary, 1800rpm, 4 gaps, 1 closure per each 1/2 cycle

Sec Fr with no toroid: 350khz

sec Fr with toroid: 260khz.

k: .21 with sec mounted 3" above top turn of primary 

Due to the shortness of the secondary, no strike rail is required.The
cap and tranny are in very close proximity to the primary and they do
not take any hits from the toroid either. They are nearly at the same
level as the primary.

I'll report more as I increase the power to the 2kw level.
