John,

Thanks for the responce.  Never saw any responces so I don't think your 
original one made it.

So you would increase the minor diameter huh.  Might I sak why?

I know this coil is under powered.  I've burned up all my other NSTs and 
only have one 15/60 remaining.  I'm trying to scrounge up some more 
power(R-R-R), but seeing as I got laid off recently price is a major 
deciding factor in what I'm finding.

Mark
