Hello All

I have just purchased a 12/30 NST for my first TC, and have been reading 
about the “Terry Filter”.  It is a great design – the only problem that I 
am finding is locating parts in Australia.  Things such as 100W resistors 
and the HV capacitors / MOV’s.  If there are any coilers out there in 
Australia that have managed to locate these, would they mind letting me 
know where?  Also, are there any advantages in different sized / shaped 
electrodes?  I am assuming there would be due to electron distribution 
fields, but were wondering how this actually effects voltage / spark size.

Many Thanks
Tristan
