Jim, and all.

Let's set the record straight here, once and for all.  I've made two one-to-one
scale copies of the Griffith Observatory Tesla Coil, plus renewing 
the origional
coil at the Observatory.  My first one-to-one scale GPO coil was installed at
Fry's Electronics in Fremont, CA, (close to San Jose).  My second edition was
at the Mid-America Science Museum (MASM), in Hot Springs, AK.  The final
rendetion was the rennovation of the origional coil at the Griffith 
Observatory,
circa November 2006.

Best regards,
Bill Wysock.
