Re: Suitable doorknob caps?

Thanks to everyone who has helped with my attempt at
finding affordable doorknob caps for my VTTC projects.
 I am mainly trying to find a replacement for the
usual expensive TDK strontium titanate 2nf 40kv
doorknobs which were used by Steve Ward, John Freau,
etc...I may end up just paying the $100 or so for a
couple TDK's if need be.  I'll continue searching for
the next couple weeks most likely.

Other areas of the single 833A project are coming
along smoothly.  With the help of my wife I wound the
17" 26 awg secondary (3.5" diameter PVC).  It looks
beautiful.  I will post pictures as soon as the
polyurethane coating is complete.
