Re: Tuning a tesla coil without high voltage power

["Tesla list" <tesla-at-pupman-dot-com>]

Original poster: "tesla by way of Terry Fritz <twftesla-at-qwest-dot-net>" <tesla-at-paradise-dot-net.nz>

Those values I chose
R2  4K7
R3 5K
C3 470p
extra C3  470p
extra C3  1410pf (3 by 470p in parallel)
Ranges 73kHz to 146kHz
            137kHz to 264kHz
             38kHz to 77kHz
