Hi all,

I've not been keeping up with the list lately, so possibly this is
already well-known.  If not :-

I noticed on their first 'feature items' page that Fair Radio Sales have
a very nice-looking "12.5 kV RF Spark gap" for $50.  It looks like it
must be a vaccuum gap, and is manufactured by Joslyn Electronic Systems
(?) for Collins (!)  Love Collins gear, as the once proud owner of a
KWM1.  Overall dimensions 12.5" long x 5" dia.

For a pic, go to  http://www.fairradio.com/0ad-969.htm   **

I have ordered one today to play with (so don't all you people get in
before me).

They also have some 'hockey-puck' caps at 4nF 20kV for $17 ea & 4nF 40kV
@ $25 ea.  So I got some of the 40kV caps as well.  Nice & compact, &
might be good for short runs on a little coil.

Just thought some of you might like to know.

Cheers,

Phil C.

Perhaps they took the link down after Phil snatched the gap ;-)) - Terry
