RE: [TCML] Caps

[david baehr <dfb25@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Yea, If I was starting over,..I would go MMC  .  I still have three working poly oil caps ( TCBOR  ) from the eary 90's , extra sheets of poly ,Alum. & 5 gal of transformer oil if needed,...R. Hull put out a video years ago with exact instructions for construction,..think I may have it somewere around here,..I had good luck with them,..others havent,......I did have a couple failures through the years, but was able to 'patch' 'em up,..and be up and running again.








      Thanks again to Richard Hull ,....promoting (smaller caps, with more primary turns ) , Big Toroids , multipal copper pipe spark gaps, and great instructional videos!!!
