Solstice seems like a good excuse to take the TC out side for a load test. Although still on a Variac almost at full mains supply and building confidence after destroying most of the silicon previously. Also trying out a newly wound secondary coil. Just one scary moment when either the over-current or under voltage tripped but came back in good.
The insulator was added to see if corona would a appear on the metal work as there are some sharp corners on it. There are also some fluorescent lights and a neon for added interest.
