[TCML] European Coil

[bartb]

Hello Arjan,

Excellent coil! Often, language barriers prevent us from detailed 
discussions. Thank you for sharing your coil. It's obviously a well 
built coil and with the needed power for the spark lengths. Your top 
load appears to be taken from Gregs Electrum Coil. Your coil looks very 
nice and I hope you can perpetuate this coil for not only entertainment, 
but also education and history of resonant transformers.

Best regards,
Bart
