<< All,
 
 I have one of these fiberglas forms I got from Marc, they are
 excellent in every way.  They are strong and light.  They are
 smooth and concentric.... very precise in manufacturing
 tolerances.   The surface texture holds the wire well, so the
 wire winds nicely, even with thin 28awg wire.  These forms
 are good for classic or magnifier coils or drivers, or tube or
 CW coils.  I attach a thick 
 wooden post to the bottom, and support it with the post, so
 I can vary my coupling with a single thumbscrew.   Since the
 top and bottom are domed, there's no real need for typical
 end caps.  Since the top is sealed, sparks cannot get into
 the form for those who worry about that.   The form and post
 assembly is shown on my latest videotape, Tape 26 which is
 available for $12.  To order the 2 hr VHS Tesla research video,
 send $12 check or MO to:

This makes me think about the old water softner that I hauled to the dump 
last summer.  It was from Sears and I know it had a fiberglass tank inside 
for the resin bed.  Didn't even think about saving it for a secondary coil 
form. - Next time.
