[TCML] I guess that's 'first light'...

[Stephen J. Hobley]

OK I sanded the inside of the coil - did not remove all of the trace but
abou 90% - I will work on this again later.

 

Cleaned the inside with alcohol, made sure not to get alcohol on the
coil. 

 

Removed the metal connector on the top and replaced it with a nylon
bolt, relocated the top of coil to outside the form.

 

I ran the coil again for about 30 seconds with no evidence of streamers,
then checked inside the form to see if there was any fresh scoring -
there was none. 

 

Re-adjusted the primary tap and got 12" streamers coming off the top.
Difficult to say how long they really were as it was sunny outside. But
it's working! 

 

Now I can start to get it optimized...
