Probably not a very special cap. > Regarding the washer toss, explore the degree of off-center placement Oh, I've optimized that as much as possible. A standard 1/4" flat washer jumps only a couple of inches, while a #8 will fly over a foot in the air. Should I get that much movement from the 1/4" washer? If so, the several things I can think of that might be effecting the circuit are: a short somewhere in the coil; the wire between the coil and the box is 16 gauge lamp cord and closer to 6 feet long than the recommended 4 feet; the capacitor issues you suggest above. Thanks for the help. Mike D.
