Hi Folks:

Your insightful advice has helped me solve my Qty.-2 -  9kv, 30ma, 
nst riddle. They had auto resets in them. I removed the resets and 
spliced the orange, orange/black & black together. Then I spliced the 
blue, blue/white & green together. I applied 120-volts and now I am 
getting .5" to 1" sparks from the secondary to the ground. Thank you 
for the great help.  /Question - Does .5 to 1" sparks seem like 
adequate power from a 9kv, 30ma nst?

/Last night while trying to decide what to do with the 2 - 9kv's,  I 
hooked up the 12kv, 30ma to my tesla coil. I was getting 4" streamers 
until I deep fried my transformer. I believe my problem was my spark 
gap being turned up on it's side (example - IIIIIII ).
The sparks stayed at the top of the gaps and heated them up. I've 
since corrected the problem and am in the process of building a Terry Filter.

Thanks To All For The Help!
I could not be doing this without you,

Jim
