Hello Everyone,

After switching from x-ray capacitors to MMC's my son's and my tesla 
coil was running great for about 5 minutes producing beautiful long 
streamers....what a sight!

Then it just stopped.  I disconnected the NST xfmr (12KV - 60MA) from 
the coil, connected a pair of wires to the terminals to see if it 
would produce an arc.  It did, but the wires had to be a minimum of 
1/4" away before the arc would start and it would grow to only about 1".

Is my NST fried?  Can it be fixed?

Thanks.

        Leo
