All,

Many people are asking for the FrightFair coil specs.
We'll be posting full specs and photographs on our web
once we have completed our FrightFair commitment.

In the mean time...

This coil features a fully enclosed tank circuit and a
"flying" primary design. It's footprint is only 2'x2' on
casters and it stands 9' tall.

In it's present environment, in which the cage prevents
the coil from reaching too far, the coil is generating
solid 9' and 10' power arcs. There are two to three
hits to the ground (12') and maybe one hit to the
primary per night (5 seconds on per 30 seconds off
for 6 hours per night).
