TCML,That coil was the Model 9J (fashioned after Bill Wysock's Model 9) and was the same coil that we used for the 2006 Fear Factor Halloween Special and was the basis for the popular SG20-TC now in commercial production ($88,000 retail).
It is (was) a SP-SRSG (sailent pole syncronous rotary spark gap) type coil set to fire at 240pps. The secondary is PVC (the SG20-TC uses FRP) and is 20" or 22" and is topped with a 48" toroid (small yes, but it was often attached to other things lowering the Fsec). The caps are two .1uf Maxwells specially designed by Bill Wysock and manufactured for us by General Atomics (the same company that makes the Predator UAV).
The Model 9J was reconfigured and sold to a Korean special effects company. The original secondary coil, however, sits proudly in the corner of the reception room of our new office. Our rental SG20-TC is in Hong Kong for the Andy Lau concerts that begin tomorrow.
Sam has been in China for a couple of weeks and when he gets back, we will u/l some fun videos to our Youtube channel.

Thanks for posting that! I didn't get the chance to see it "live" so this gave me the opportunity. Chip On Tue, 18 Dec 2007, Cameron B.
