Thread-topic: Fairly big changes to my little 304 VTTC
Hi Chris,
The "ugly" picture looks pretty nice to me. You should bring this coil to Roger Smith's teslathon August 10 so we can see the fruits of your labor in person. I will be bringing my smallest VTTC which I built when I was 16, my 833A coil, and a 20-stage Marx generator.

Hi Steve and all again,
I want to share an in-between picture I took, when this was very ugly,
before it got clean and nice.

This was to do a bit of initial test running, to see if it would even work.
I was also, still at the time stumped in how I was going to do the self
supporting primary, nice and clean. This cap setup was temporary also,
until I could aquire some more "friendly" sized micas that I needed. Would
have liked to do in one fixed cap, but hard to find what I needed, but
happy with what I did with the three micas currently used. The feedback
winding was the same as before initially and had poor and weird control.
Not unexpected here. Once I figured out how to suspend the primary, next
was figuring out a new feedback. Took about three different designs/tries
before I got what I was visually happy with, and easy to change turns if
needed. And of course getting the control that I wanted. It was very poor
on the first two tries.
Did anyone notice, that what I did for the feedback finally is a bit
unusual itself?
More coming this weekend.
