I finally got around to fixing my big DRSSTC after a catastrophic driver failure. It ran pretty flawlessly until something happened and i started getting secondary turn to turn arcing. That ground strike was about 8' point to point.
I saw your tesla coil mailing list post, I had the same problem, I temporarily fixed it by coating the inside and outside over the sections that I could see carbon, my carbon problem was very severe, this may fix yours forever, or maybe just a few minutes of running... its worth a shot, so you dont need to buy more magnet wire... hope this helps.
