Neal,

I assume that you're referring to the HV output of
the NSTs. Since most NSTs are mid-point grounded
on their HV outputs, you cannot series the HV output
of NSTs for increased voltage. Since more power is
the name of the game for bigger sparks, just paralleling
the HV outputs for more mA is quite sufficient for
increased spark length performance.

run them in parallel before for the ma's, but I'm wondering if setting them
in series is do-able. If this has been done before, is there anything I need
to do re: grounding, connecting, or whatever with their cases?  FWIW, I'm
thinking of using a couple of 9/30's. I don't have 220v available at my
workbench, so I'd have to stick with 110v, if that's an issue. Thank you all
in advance, for any info you might have.
