Well, I guess that it may just be better for me to go ahead and keep searching
for something close to the 833C or 833A, because I did not want the coil to be
all that small just roughly "table top" sized. That is, something close to one
of John Freau's smaller 833A, v-27 type coils. I really like his 4-250A coil (
I think that is the one with the variac next to it), because it looks pretty
small, yet it certainly seems to pack a punch. Then again, David Trimmell's
coil looks great also. I was thinking that using just one 810 (because it was
the last one they had) would work for some nice 10-15 inch arcs, but I now feel
that I may be wanting to use the wrong tube for the job. If anyone is
interested, I can get those four 5-125B's for $10.00 a piece. Or perhaps
someone would trade four tubes for two 833's? Also, I can get 811-A's for
$16.00 NEW in the box! However, I don't think they are as durable as the 833's,
because I see nobo! dy using them:^) Anyone know anything about 811A tubes? 

      Humm? Would anyone perhaps like to make a trade of let's say 2-3 833A's
in exchange for......? Well, what would one want in exchange for these tubes?
Money? Guns? Drugs? (please smile at that, because I am joking) Oh well, I have
to do something, because I have already set my mind to this Tube Tesla Coil
completion. 

      By the way, anyone interested in MOSFET driven SSTC's should really look
at the www.HVGUY-dot-com page. I just got almost 2 inch arcs out of a small
flyback!
Those guys are great! Thanks for the help chaps.
