Original poster: "JT Bowles" <jasotb@xxxxxxxxxxx>i see the irony of my last post. Yes. So it is plausible. One strange fact though. *my electrodes have corrosion on them from use, yes, but only around the area contacted by the spark. The area actually being conductive is bright, shiney copper. If looked head on, the tubes would look like...:

Only way I can imagine, is if conductive crud builds up on the eletrodes of the S.G. ,and effectively brings them closer together ( thus a lower breakdown voltage)."Exactly"!! ;-)) Rub them with fine sand paper till "like new" =:-))) Cheers, Terry
