All,

Tesla Coil Videotape # 20 which covers my recent tube staccato
(pulsed) coil and sync-gap disruptive coil work is now available. 
Highlights of this 2 Hr, VHS tape follow:

  * A new sync-gap is tested  * 42" spark TC is converted into a 
magnifier, quenching is observed on oscilloscope   * Narrow secondary
is installed onto classic TC   *Effect of input current waveform on 
meter accuracy is explored, waveforms shown on scope    * Lou
Balint visits, describes the damage that occured to his high powered
experimental super-quench rotary gap, mangled electrodes are 
shown   * Cathode-lift staccato control method for a tube coil is
shown using true synchronized operation, pulses are shown on
scope   * Massive secondary coil is tested on classic Tesla coil,
interesting conclusions are drawn   * Classic TC gives 64" sparks
using 1560 watts   * Two new types of staccato control boards are
shown and described   * New staccato board is installed into tube
TC, trigger and RF pulses are shown   * Staccato (pulsed) capability
is installed into a large tube coil and gives 26" snarling sparks when
powered by (4) 833A vacuum tubes   * 29" staccato sparks are 
achieved using (2) 833A tubes   * Rep rate is varied adding interest
to the display, strange rat-tat-tat sound of staccato is heard  *  33"
and then 38" staccato sparks are obtained  * A small tube TC 
using (1) 845 tube gives 16" of spark  * A 20 minute segment
reviews tube coil operation, tuning, and theory, and covers
various types of staccato control methods  *  

Other misc. experiments, etc, are also shown on the tape.  

Schematics for a small and large staccato tube coil, and the
complete index for all previous 19 tapes will be included with
all orders and will be sent by US postal priority mail.  To order 
tape # 20 and the schematics, please send $18 check or money
