All,

Again I'm replying to my own post here.  I decided not to bother
doing the small cap test above.  But I'll mention an old test I did
using a 10kV, 23ma OBIT and static gaps.  With a 6 or 7nF 
resonant cap I got 25" sparks before the OBIT failed.  Using a
small 1.5nF cap which gave a higher break rate, the TC produced
13" sparks in earlier work.  In both cases I used 140 volts input to
the OBIT.

I've abused my NST enough with the various tests. I'll be going 
back to using the potential transformers with the sync gap to
power the TC.
