Hi Guanyan, I mean that I am taking the 120 volt feed from the 10 volt
step-down transformer (tube filament) to the staccato board (with it's own
step-down transformer). This 120 volt feed line goes very close to the
bottom of the tesla coil. Seems that when I use the stacatto power
away..... From a separate source it works well. Using the shared feed from
the stepdown transformer things do not work well. The pulsing seems to be
erratic!

Hi Bud,
What do you mean by you're running the supply underneath the coil? I've
made some staccato circuits before and I simply use a small transformer.
Turns out that I do have a small staccato controller board (see attached).
It's tiny (less than 1.2 x 2"), but works great for me.

Hi All,
Been quite a while since I have posted anything on this site as my new
home has taken priority. But now I have time to rebuild my dual 833 vttc.
changed it to resonate around 300 kHz. Works really good now and
produces
some pretty long arcs for a vacuum tube design.
I built a staccato controller from Steve's schematic several years ago
but having some trouble with it. It is not a printed board but just a
prototype board all soldered together. does anyone have a nice etched
board for a staccato control for sale? I can do all the work and get the
components just need the board.
The trouble I am having is running the 115 volt supply from underneath the
tesla coil. Even though I am using a shielded supply it seems I am frying
something on the board when running in the staccato mode. do I need to
run
a separate 115 volt supply away from the tesla coil?
Any help would be appreciated.
