Hi guys,

   First off, Terry, I still haven't been able to find any "decent" info
on the egg of columbus, I'm open to suggestions???*

 Secondly, how long can the TC's run before the heat in the spark gap,
(whether it be rotary or otherwise) force you to shut them down??? And
does going to a solid state driver allow the coil to operate for extended
durations???

Anyway, thanks

Wade
