Hi Scot,

Also, the TC primary inductance is insignificant 
compared to the ballast inductance (as seen in 
the secondary ckt) for charging purposes. We are 
comparing microheneries to heneries.

Okay Chip...

I took a good look at your schematics for this
version and found everything to be in order   (
as far as the welder primary winding being less
in winds as compared to the secondary
winding  that can be dismissed   at least you
have the correct idea that you are using the
primary side of the welder as ballast input)

as far as having the cap in series with the coil
primary and the rotary spark gap in paralell with
the coil primary ( in your present schematics)  I
prefer to run mine in the opposite
configuration....  my rotory spark gap is in
series with the coil primary and the cap is in
paralell with the coil primary ( and transformer
outputs) my safety gap is also in paralell with the cap and transformer

this way the cap charges direct and not thru the
coil primary and any overvoltage gets dumped into
the safety gap ( but when it does its loud) ...
