sundog,
i to needed a quick good way to discharge some large caps the other day.

what i did was make a three sided wood box like a c. i drilled a 1/4
inch hole in the top and bottom parts. i had about a 4" round piece of
rubber that i put a piece of 1/4" dowel rod through so it was in the
middle of the box.put a brass bolt through the edge of the disk and made
two brass electrodes ,top and bottom of box. kinda like a single
electrode rotary gap , get it?
then i put a little spring to the disk to hold the disk electrode away
from the stationary ones. then i used a piece of fishing line to pull
them into alignment.
it sounds kinda hoaky but it worked good. took me about 20 minutes to
make.
just one quickie way......marc

ps. i was discharging into a gmhei coil, just for kicks
