[TCML] Hoyt Axton Tesla Coil

[Frank <fxrays@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi all,
I won a nice Tesla coil off Ebay. It was custom built for Hoyt Axton 
by Bill Wysock.
It ended up in Montana where Hoyt spent his final years.
You can Goggle Hoyt for his bio.
I have it home and cleaned up and working.
I had to replace the power cord and cap and get a new key made for 
the key switch and tighten all connections.
The original cap was a glass oil filled one and it had gotten cracked 
and all the oil leaked out at some point.
If anyone would like pix of it and I would be happy to send about a 
3mb file of pictures and info.
Appears to have a 9kv NST (no data plate on the xfmr)  and a 0.01 mfd 
cap with a 5" dia secondary and about 15 1/2" of windings on clear 
Lucite tubing.
Has a single 1/2" dia tungsten spark gap and a 5" copper sphere top load.
Will throw about an 8" spark.
Frank
