Many thanks for the pointers to help!
 
I really appreciate it.

Terry, at some point, I want to buy you a drink ...

Please see my communications (below) with another TCML member regarding  
"tuning" a TC with O'scope, signal generator and digital frequency meter.
 
First, see:
 _http://myweb.tiscali.co.uk/teslatutorial/MEASUREMENTSPR.htm_ 
(http://myweb.tiscali.co.uk/teslatutorial/MEASUREMENTSPR.htm) 
for the physical test setups.
 
However, rather than trying to build an RF signal generator, a much simpler 
 approach may be to build Terry Fritz' "Tesla Coil Tuner", a very simple 
(10  parts) "resonance detector".
 
For derails, see:
