Re: [TCML] NST and HV Cables

Hello Phil and group,
                                   Say Phil, just curious how you came up 
with the 10KV value. Looking at the nameplate under KV I see 3,75-3,75 and 
that leads me to believe it is a 7,500 volt 60 MA output not 10/60.  From 
what I have read it will work,not the best and hard on the spark gap but it 
is doable. I wonder tho ,if a voltage doubler would work in this 
circumstance. I have at least one 750/120 and wanted a simpler demo version 
so I put it on the back burner so to speak. A set up like that might be an 
interesting coil project.   ...Happy coling to all...Binny----- Original
