Hi Brad, I was thinking it was just a high pressure plug, no electric pas thru as none of the pictures showed any evidence of a connection especially a HT connection. It would be a hack but it does provide easy access to Ni chamber. There is no evidence Rossi ever used a spark. Good luck with your experiments.
