I've noticed that my 60mA NST powered coil gets a
significantly longer spark after running 15-20
seconds.  After it "Warms Up" it starts at full power,
but if it's been sitting for a day it begins at less
than a third of the spark length.

I assume it's out of tune when it's "Cold", do you
think this phenominom coukd be related to the
capacitors?  I seem to recall hearing once that
capacitors could change capacity significantly with
temperature...

Curt.
