Subject: New to list

I've just signed on to the list and wanted to forward a quick thanks to 
all of the members who have contributed to the list.  I've spend hours 
looking  back through old posts on this site  familiarizing myself with 
the electronics or Tesla coils ... I'm about 70% of the way through 
building a medium sized coil (my first ...SRSG, 15kv 30ma NST, Terry 
Fritz' filter, 20 deg conical primary,  4"x22" secondary, 5x16" toroid  
by John Freau). I used TeslaMap for parameters, and am still working on 
the SRSG oriental sync motor and G-11 rotor with tungsten points (plus a 
pair of Quick Gaps which I understand are easier to use, so maybe I'll 
start with these ... I have the PVC and copper pipe sections cut, so 
just a matter of assembly).   It should be nice when I  complete, but 
I'm taking each  item a step at a time to make sure I stay safe (and 
don't blow any NSTs or other parts). 

The list has been a goldmine of data, and it's nice to trod where others 
have already done the heavy lifting.
