    Hull emphasized what Tesla had said, that it was mandatory to 
get the two caps absolutely identical. Once that was taken care of, 
the results were apparently worth the trouble.

    But once the power is off, primary reactance should be 
unimportant. The primary should just look like a dead short to the 
caps. The secondary of the transformer should complete the circuit, 
and provide a bleed-down resistance.
    Still don't see why *could* matter, but I'm glad to see that 
you've done experiments that show it doesn't affect performance 
significantly (at least for small/medium coils?)
