Ed,

thanks for your replies. My comments interspersed.

Not yet an experience, but will try. My friend Urs Lauterburg at the 
Univerity of Bern, has an old Seibt, which has such a "lamp" along. Pic's 
about it can be had at:

As may be noticed, the coil resembles closely the one sketched at Antonio's 
site. I'm keen, to see this Seibt again operating, which was not the case, 
as long as Urs remembers. He's waiting now my experience with my own coil, 
and help to get it alive again.

Before presenting the pic' to the list, I also tried to enhance it a 
little, adjusting brightness 25% and contrast 30%, by means of the 
PaintShopPro program. Might you perhaps send your version, as an attachment 
to an offlist mail?

Thanks, and best regards,

Kurt
