Re: [TCML] The "Original" OLTC and what to do with it??

["DC Cox" <resonance@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Jim Hardesty has also been working hard with the east coast group to restore
the original Wardenclyffe site, but so far, after 5 years of effort,
they have not succeeded in procuring the original powerhouse site.

I've offered to donate a pyramid shaped coil to their project and also a
replica of Tesla's Col. Springs magnifier system.
