Hi Terry,

Actually the tubes are barely orange, rather a slight red.  THe video 
camera (and the high quality photos) just pick up the VERY bright 125watt 
filament!  If you saw it in person, it would really not look like that 
:).  Im guessing you are talking about the 304TL?  If you are talking about 
the dual 811A, the plates do not change color, no matter how long its 
on!  Ive ran it for about 15 minutes continuous before!  The 304TL coil can 
only be run at its max for say 30 seconds.  Maybe more, but i dont care to 
find out.  The video of the 304TL coil isnt all that great, it seems that 
parts of it were not transferred correctly and you really only see about 
1/2 of the frames.
Thats why it looks loke there is only 1 spark at a time.  Rather, you 
actually see about 5 or 6 at any given moment (on high power).

If you could convert them so that they are easier to view (quicker) that 
would really be great.  If you need anything just email me.

Just wait until i have 2 833As powering up a coil!  That should really be 
something!

Steve Ward.
