I wanted to thank everyone for the info on hot vs. insulated rotors,
and sources for the laminate ;'}

Now I'm wondering about the rotating electrodes, I've heard mentioned
brass pins, brass screws with stainless acorn nuts, and some sort of
threaded holder with tungsten rods.

I'm guessing, from what I've heard, that almost anything will work,
as long as your system stays in tune.

These 'flaming power arcs' that I've heard so much about would probably
destroy just about anything in short order, correct ?

I'm thinking about useing the 'brass screw/acorn nut' method, since it
seems so easy to make/repair/balance...

Does anything in the collective wisdom suggest a better solution ?

Thanks again,

Daryl
