Can you replace the steel part with a brass part. Steel is a terrible loss
in RF fields and the hot steel is taking away from power for the sparks. I
have seen high power RF equipment that normally runs cold. Someone will
simply replace a brass screw with a steel one and the screw gets white hot,
melts, and drips to the floor... "Some" types of nan-magnetic stainless
steel work too.
Cheers,
Terry
