Re: Jim mitchell's solid state tesla coil board

All,

I have written intructions.  It is posible that some of you have not gotten
them or something.  IF so, the instructions for my board are here.
http://www.hot-streamer-dot-com/electrontube/temp/Self%20Resonant%20SSTC%20board%20DR.doc
If you need further help, you may email em privately.  Please note,  when
you bought the board,  I explained fully that this was just the driver.  I
can't give everyone step by step instructions via email if you don't bother
to read the ones I've written already!

Regards - Jim Mitchell
