Re: [TCML] Primary Coil Simulator for Safe Primary Circuit Experimentation

Hi Brandon,

Your load rig looks a lot more presentable than mine ever did.  I like the
way you used screws for the bulb contacts - I wish I had thought of doing
that!

Are you using it with a sync RSG?  I'd be curious to hear your experience as
you vary the phase.  Using just the Freau adjuster, you should be able to
see the lamps go from almost nothing, to very bright, and suddenly mayhem
and safety gaps firing.
