Hello,

I invite everyone to see some of the latest finds of my dear friend and 
fellow collector Frank Jones.
http://www.electrotherapymuseum.com/2006/TeslaLamp/index.htm

Included is an amazing (and fully-functioning) single electrode Tesla lamp.  
As seen it also has an electrostatic screen similar to those found in Thomas 
Commerford Martin's book on pages 266 and 268.

[This can be found in the Otto Pressler catalogue that is reprinted by PV 
Scientific (arcsandsparks.com).  This book is highly recommended for anyone 
interested in Geissler and Crookes tubes...there are also sections of 
electrodeless and single electrode Tesla tubes.  Its
reprinted in its original German language.]

Frank also has a wonderful Tesla-Westinghouse Stopper Lamp, and a collection 
of interesting Crookes, Geissler, and X-Ray Tubes.  Not to mention 
Victrolas, Antique Engines, Static Machines, X-Ray Machines, Induction 
Coils, Tesla Coils, Cats, and several of everything else under the sun...and 
unlike the past concepts of hoaring machines and keeping quiet about them, 
he isn't afraid to share his knowledge and collection with the public!
