sounds great Ted.

I've recorded some info on my improved 6 pack coil too:

150 nF surplus capacitor/92.7 kHZ/newer 4" 27AWG (teflon treated) wound 
secondary/
the 6 pack safety gaps are at optimal spacing w/ exactly 7.5mm a side.
the ARSG, usually spins at 10,000 RPM...for BPS rate...not really sure.
*the MOTs have been de-shunted and an arc welder ballasting is used to 
control current input. Usually I set the unit at 80% power. MOTs are are 
experiencing low amount of heating, compaired to when they had shunts in** 
power draw in total is 9-11 kW, depending on setting.

streamer length from Tesla Coil: ~5.2m ...my MOTs are holdin' up fine. No 
need for chokes, or big safety curcuits as these are low impedence trannies.
