It seems to me that R Hull used coax for primaries on quite a few of his
coils, and in fact in the TCBOR  "Tesla Coil Primer" tape uses it in his
step by step production of the coil in the tape.  As far as tapping goes, a
push pin was soldered to the tap wire, and made tuning rather easy.  It can
also be close wound because of the insulation and glued or whatever to the
base, eliminating the need for lexan holders for retaining copper tubing
primaries.  I've been looking for a roll of scrap stuff myself, and I think
it's a good find.
