Hi Guys,

No ASCII art--I hate it more than diodes in Tesla
coils. How about a paintbrush drawing instead? See:

I put the caps between the xfmrs because I didn't want
them "out front" by the safety gaps, RF feedback, etc.
I liked the idea of a MOT secondary standing between
the MOT caps and that snarling TC. This is a simple,
lightweight ballast system that is easy to adjust for
a wide range of power levels via simple jumper wires
with female spade lugs.

Regards,
