Hi Dan,

150v in,  doubled.  I haven't touched the primary tap yet,  I probably
should've before I started turning up the variac but...

It seems that my filtering is insufficient, as the coil output dims at full
BPS,  a key sign of low filtering,  so I'm going to add 4700�F right across
the rails of the bridge, Then I'll try it again.

In about an hour,  I'm going to take some videos/pictures.

I expect with some tuning I should be able to hit at least 70.

Regards - Jim Mitchell
