This was my Tesla coil in it's early stages. This photo is unedited. Shutter was open for half a second. The neon sign isn't plugged in. The arcs aren't nearly as impressive as the arcs it puts out today, but this is my favorite photo because it is eerie...

Those pics are nice, but I think some cool pics would be of your vacuum setup and Diff. pump. I'm still waiting to get some free time to make a cart and set mine up, hopefully someday.

Heh thanks! (btw fixed a mistaken link) Bad the vacuum system is not fully functional - in fact, it's a leftover of the better days this lab saw - the wirings were all cut off and much of the glass pipes cracked. :( By now I fixed all the wirings (in fact, redone it all from scratch), added a mistake-proof control panel to fire up both pumps (which prevents activating the heater before the motor is running by a generic "wrong-button" mistake as well as an incorrect shotdown) but I can't do anything with the glass - the gas supply was brought offline for some reason a few years ago so I even can't fire up a wielder, but it feels even if I could it wouldn't help as the pipes are very old and the replacement is still not there - hope I could use a pipeline from another system which is less damaged. So, by now with some vital pipes broken as well I even can't use the diff pump, so can get only to pretty high pressure :( Got some pics of not very deep vacuum discharge however - running 40Mhz from a part of modified medical equipment.
