RE: [TCML] newer tesla coil parts

Hi DC, All,

I agree - nice, thoughtful construction! It never even occurred to me split
the halves.
We will all look forward to more pictures of our art form at work!

Nice construction work.

Both Digi-Key and Mouser usually stock them.  I split mine into two 50 watt,
500 Ohm resistors putting one ahead and one behind the common varister/cap
connections.
