Hello Professor; Thank you for your kind comments and advice. Please tell me
if I am correct in this, My primary on this Bipolar has 6 turns, It is in
tune using only the center 3 turns. Does this indicate that the coil wants
more top-load?

Here is a short video showing the improvements on my bipolar TK,with
more turns on the secondary and 2 stacks of 4 mason jar disc
top-loads. I gained 2 inches of spark length with this.

Nice construction. More terminal capacitance helps in the formation of
long sparks. It seems that it would work without the breakout points.
You could try small spheres of several diameters instead of the points
to see if there is some improvement.
