RE: [TCML] question of construction - is metal okay at the center ofprimary?

There is no black or white answer to your question.  NST's and MOT's are commonly mounted in the base of coils - it all depends upon just how close to the primary they are.  Two inches away, and you will have problems.  Two feet, no problem.  And a whole lot of gray in between.
