Hi David, Nice to hear from you. Still trying to get every thing together
for the big moment!
I have put a 240v/50A  plug in my garage, and Got the welder working(broke
winding)
Still working on my spark gap and I need to order some more caps. I will
probably be ready
to try it out in about 2 weeks.

  I'm still a little confused though. Let me word my question another way.
If I wind my coil to resonate with the .097uf cap at 120bps with a static
gap
  would it still work if I Change the cap to .024uf and swap the  gap for the
480 bps ARSG?
Or does the coil need to be wound especially for the .024 cap?

Steve
