Whaaa!!  Ya think I am a weenie...   That is full 120uS 340 buss 
stuff!!!!  Well ok...  The current limits were set right on top and the 
primary resistors were killing the thing to the max ;-)))  The "box" was 
putting out full, but the coil was about "maxed" for power in that case 
;-)))  Hey that is hand in my pocket full bode stuff there :o))  I could 
actually "feel" the feeble streamer through the wrench!!  I am glad it 
barely showed up in the picture ;-))

And the AC line current meter read....  Well ok... It read zero :o)))

Cheers,
