Try cleaning & re-gapping your spark gap. Might be
fouled with carbon or oxide or something.

You need a video capture device for your computer. ATI
(and others) make a combination video graphics adapter
and video capture device in-one. Its just a card that
you plug into your PC. I've seen them for sale at
Wal-Mart. If you don't want to spring for a video
capture card, mail me a video tape and I'll convert
them to files for you. I'm just across the lake from
you in Long Beach.
