OK Al, here come the pics I have just taken.
BTW, I am taking 8 amps from the mains when at full tilt. (2 MOT's in parallel)
The little drops on the wire are multiple coats of varnish which has cured the break out.
Sparks are 6 inches at about 2kv. DC. I've added some doorknobs cannibalised from my SGTC to increase tank cap from 600 pf to 1100pf to increase spark length so it's tuning that I must now concentrate on.
As previously mentioned will use variable cap to get right...…...I will take care not to turn the cap vanes whilst ON. !
Will keep you informed when Bach's Toccata starts sparking.
Just can't wait .
Thanks for all your useful info and help.
