Well done to all those involved in upkeeping this list.

Well I upgraded (or changed at least) the spark gap from 1/4 20 brass
bolts to 1.25" diameter 
solid brass nobs and added two plates to our plate capacitor which is
working great by the way.
All in all the spark gap can be set much smaller and still achieve the
same if not better results as with the more primitive one.  ~20-24"
sparks from the toroid.  Am now getting close to danger of arc to
primary.  Will need to put on a grounded rail above primary for safety. 
Should it be a complete circle?


Peace,
Ry
