Thanks Carl- I remember your mod, I'm just worried a bit because
this will be much closer to the tank coil than the SB220 had.

I replace RFC-2 in the SB-220 with a 25W glitch and never had a problem with
it. Bypass it on both sides with a 1000pf 6-10KV disc ceramic....not a
Chinese ebay POS either.
