Hi Andrew,
I'm also a VTTC beginner.  I have links to all of the other VTTC sites on my
web page and I'm keeping a detailed lab notebook of my work on a 3-1000z
(big triode) VTTC.  I'll fwd you some useful correspondance that I have had
with some of the VTTC guys on the list.  I also highly recommend the chapter
in Brent Turner's book on tube coils.  He does an excellent job of laying
out the basics.  You also must get a copy of the ARRL handbook.  They
publish a new one every year with slightly different content but they all
have the basics and I consider it among the most useful book on my shelf for
Tesla related stuff.

Good luck,
Ross-O

Hello list,

    I have recently found a pair of new 811A tubes and was hoping to make my
first VTTC. Does anyone know if I can use these tubes? I remember seeing on
a
website somewhere, someone used 3 811A's (I think). Does anybody know where
I
can find circuit diagrams and other helpful bits of information. I have
absolutely no knowledge on this type of coil. I would really appreciate some
help.

Thanks,
Andrew
