Bob,

Take a look at the arrestors that Array Solutions sells, which are the 
circuit that were built under the ICE name until the owner died a decade 
or so ago, and that they sold. I'm now using them, and have them mounted 
in a large Hoffman enclosure. I like the circuit because I believe it is 
a better solution to the discharge problem, and I like their 
construction because the GDT is user replaceable. If you lose the GDT in 
a Polyphaser you throw it away and buy a new one.
