Hi Malcolm,

No problem, I don't usually have my notes handy either.  Thanks for
the info.  I have another question/idea;  is this the TC that had the gap
that ran intermittently and that used the blast of air that caused the
gap-arc to bend?  If so, maybe the gap firing voltage was higher than
8kV at times, because the air blast may have delayed the firing, 
allowing the cap to charge a little longer resulting in a larger bang?
Did you measure the firing voltage during operation, or are you 
basing it on a pre-setting without air blast?  

Regards,
John Freau
