Hi Peter,

Isn't the RMS current generated by 1200 bps terribly
harsh on your primary capacitors, though?

David,

Even though the gap is firing more often, each bang is
much smaller in energy.  The caps may take some more
abuse, but this may be a matter of the caps lasting only
for 20 years instead of for 80 years.  That sort of thing perhaps
generally speaking.
