Chuck,
Yes, the large cap makes it even less likely that gaps are
refiring, thanks for that info. Yeah, it's sure too bad that you have
to shut down for the winter, and just when things were getting
interesting it seems. If you could run the TC at work, in some
sort of warehouse area that's on a separate line, with good
filters, etc, maybe it would be OK? After all museum coils do
run successfully with computers in the building I suppose. But
there's always a danger, and a lot of things to unplug to be safe
each time you run the TC. Guess you'd have to run after hours,
or on weekends or whenever operations are shut down.
