Any time you connect 400-500 kV to a primary coil that is directly 
connected to a capacitor bank it puts excessive stress on the caps.  It's 
sort of like the "final straw that broke the camel's back".  It may not 
kill them immediately but it's definitely not a good idea to allow this to 
continue unabated.

Support 3-4 small round brass cabinet knobs on 1/2 in. dia. x 3 in high 
Delrin posts at the outermost edge of the upper subbase assembly.  We run 
the ground wire connection inside the Delrin support post.  Each is 
connected to ground and provide a rapid attachment point for stray streamers.
