Hi List,
    My toob Tesla coil is using two 5868 power triodes in parallel. When the
tuning is bad, the tubes get quite red. These toobs have a graphite anode, and
can be mistreated. My digital camera is still in for repair(please Nikon, just
this one time!!!). So, you'll have to wait on some pics. I think what my last
experments have shown, is you need a lot of power. Hitting the uwave PS with
135 volts, I was able to pull 26-27 A. Now at 100 Volts, I'm pulling 33 A. I
can see that I'm gonna need to rewire the transformer as a 240 primary. This is
gonna create a minor rewire task.
                                                                           
                                                                Later,
                                                                           
                                                                    James
