Robert:
It seems that the tank value for your NST combo is the same as was mine for
a single 15/60. And I was cautioned to make the new cap LTR (.028) by
several folks when I started the tgap.
My guess is that you should too.
Others can probably give you the techy reasons.

Good luck in the construction. It's hard to make a mistake.

I just read the much anticipated plans for marc's TSG and i am 
interested in building one to run with my 4.5" coil, but i am not 
running at LTR. My power supply is a bank of 5 9/30's for a 9/150 total 
power input. my question is, to calculate the LTR value of capacitance, 
do I use the individual trannie's values or the whole bank. right now my 
mmc cap value is about 0.01uf. can i run the TSG with just that or do i 
have to upgrade?
