have never personally had any experience with Gary's work but all 
reports on several reflectors have been very favorable.

With a snap and a buzz, the little RF choke gave its all and dramatically caught fire. It blackened the bottom of the tall plate choke a bit, but did no electrical damage. However, before I got to the HV switch, the HV power supply transformer's primary shorted which then blew the 8A line fuse.
