    As soon as I come home I take the pics! this brass part couples the wire of the tesla coil with the tungsten point tip. for sure i have to shorten a little, 2cm of thread is really too much, i have to shorten also the coil and the chamber, if i take these sizes i got few space for the single transformer. After reading in other sites that this plasma produces lot of heat that it can melt tin weld of the coil, I try mechanical coupling with m4 grains, prcatical solution even for change tip.

    For the transformer i'm searching some good products, i need for sure 2 secondary up to 250v and 3 different for filaments. I call an italian small maker, 120 euro each for this transformer, almost homemade...
    I found this polish company that makes imho good products, even some waterproof unit. normal grade toroid cost really few bucks, "audio grade" with some more shield and resin core a bit more, and the supreme applepie tranformer is tested, it has many features but, above all, it has a top plate in polished inox that save me lot of time and materials to make a cover! even with the most expensive i spent less money than buying in italy ...
