Adjustable Capacitor Tesla Coil Tuner
Designed for higher frequency coils
and flat spiral Pancake Coils


Top section uses 3500V 8mA
transformer

Bottom section uses 5000V 8-10mA
transformer


Depending on which of the three
circular hole pattern rows are used as positive stops in adjusting the
spark gap, the following increments can be had:
1 / (40 tpi) x 30 holes = 1 / 1200" increments
1 / (40 tpi) x 120 holes = 1 / 4800" increments
1 / (40 tpi) x 360 holes = 1 / 14400" increments



Keyed switches select 3500 or 5000V
transformer and cap arrangement



Data drawer

UPDATE:
Unfortunately the black wood is conductive!!
So now we have:


Single units. Transformer mounted below!
