Marc -

Excellent! 12" is impressive and the arc is more intense then I envisioned
it would be. I guess I'll have to tear myself away from this computer
(conical primarys are driving me NUTS!) and fire up the flat coil in the
garage.

It looks like the coupling IS "real high" at this position. As a matter of
fact, I'd bet it is somewhere in the vacinity of 0.35.

Thanks for the pics and the update Marc,
Bart
