Hello Dan,
Yes I can but it is an outdoor coil only due to its size. Like all TCs, it is best seen in late afternoon to evening when the sun is not so bright. I can also show you my 6L6 VTTC, my 833A VTTC, and my Marx generator. Maybe I'll have my quarter shrinker finished by then too.

Thanks Steve! I may have to take you up on that offer. And if I do,
hopefully you can drag out your coil and let 'er rip!
