After 11 months of learning and experimenting I have finally got a TESLA 
COIL working
I realise it's "small beer" and inefficient - at 6Kv and 32mA I should 
get 26" sparks but can only manage 16-18 "
The Secondary coil - 3.5 dia  1200 turns of .0011 inch wire
 has a spigot on the bottom and fits into a receptacle on the base 
board  ( all some form of plumbing /gas C-H boiler fittings)
This means I can easily take the secondary coil off for transporting the 
coil
The spark gap is static and made from copper backed cont actors faced 
with solid silver buttons   - salvaged from a fork lift truck.
The big top load is two dog feed bowls, back to back, a ring of foam, 
pipe insulation covered with s/a Al foil

THANKS TO ALL ON THIS LIST AND TCBOUK  for your help _ ESPECIALLY Terry 
Fritz
