While performing "Second Light" Aleks asked "What's that smell?". I said
"Ozone" then thought....we're standing 20' apart with a wind blowing
sideways between us. hmmmmmm
then I saw a whisp of smoke coming from the control panel.....
Anybody wanna buy a cheap variac? lol
"Catastophic structural failure do to internal overheating"
Fortunately we have a new 10A variac, and all the parts to build a new
control panel. Any tips?

Chris,
Yes, don't leave the control panel. I either sit there myself or have
someone else at the controls whenever the coil is running - just waiting to
shut everything down quickly should something look or smell wrong.
