Re: this old tesla coil

Ed,

Those caps are history too! Seems they failed six years ago and thats why the xformer flamed. 
I figured that since they still measured .25uf and passed the BAP BAP BAP test (cap across a 
sparkgap, no coils) that they might work. I guessed wrong. However, we've just about got the 
$325 for a 20kV .05uf from CP. I'll rework a higher inductance primary and we should be back 
to work.

Photos are on the way!   ...Jeff
