[TCML] TRUE TC LEAK DETECTOR?



Wonder if anyone has any information on an ECCO leak detector apparently made during the 1930's? Unlike the Cenco and other kicker-coil type "Tesla coil" leak detectors this is a true TC. Consists of a box with the HV transformer in it and a regular 4-pin ceramic tube socket on the top. The lead from the coil plugs into this socket and runs to the coil assembly, which has an adjustable spark gap in series with the primary of a conical coil. Works is contained in a ventilated bakelite case not unlike the Cenco units. Wonder if any other similar units were built. Seems more complicated and dangerous than the kicker coil...............
