OK. First, let me say this. I know I am ignorant of alot of thing 
when it comes to electronics and building a tesla coil. That is why I 
am here and asking so many questions. To learn. Noone here on this 
board was born with any of this knowledge. We all have to learn what 
we want to know at some point. So please be patient and kind to me. I 
am trying to learn something here. There is a wealth of knowledge and 
experience here that money can't buy. Not that I could afford it if 
you could...OK..enough of that...

I have attached a pic of (2) schematics representing (2) approaches 
to a TC curcuit with a ballast in it. By the way. I draw in Autocad 
for a living. Please let me know which one. Drawing "A", or Drawing 
"B", best represents the proper intruduction of a ballast into the 
curcuit. Or if neither is a good example. Also let me know if you see 
any other mistakes. Thank you...Chip
