Unfortunately the safety gaps only give an indication of the voltage 
the chokes ring up to. I estimate around 25kV, maybe more for that 
setting. I'm sure you've posted all this before but what did the 
scope show re primary Q? How many non-breakout envelopes? What is the 
quality of the discharges like?

Thanks,
Malcolm
