Hello

I am new to this list, but am determined to begin construction (with my
son's help) on my first coil in the New Year. After much research I have
decided to use the "MMC" style capacitor bank. I am wondering if anyone
else has bulk quantities available (this was prompted by a previous
poster who indicated he had sold out). I can get them through an
electronics wholesaler but they still seem high at 1.40 Canadian. I am
also hoping that someone can explain "phasing" as it relates to rotary
spark gaps. I have an electrical background but I am (so far) not
grasping the concept. This list is a great resource, thanks to all the
informative posters!
