Hi again, I have seen many schematics where the spark gap is series
and the Capacitor is parallel and vice-versa... Which is hte proper
way to put the LC circuit, which is parallel and which is
series??  Thanks for input.

Hi Daniel,

The configuration with the spark gap across the transformer puts much less stress on the transformer and prolongs its life significantly.
