Re: Pringles pot as form for small secondary

["bob golding" <yubba-at-xxxxxxxxx> (by way of Terry Fritz <twftesla-at-xxxxxxxxxx>)]

Hi Henry all,

opps! sorry I don't buy pringles so I didn't know the can was covered in
aluminium. I will try one on the top of my coil instead. On second thoughts
maybe I should just  shut up :-)). I do of course endorse everything
everyone else has said on this subject.

cheers
bob golding
