Here's a picture I never put in my list of how I attached the #34 wire to the resonator.  I grabbed the wire (shown is a #26 copper, not the nickel wire)  with the flea clip as close as I could to the welding end and pushed it into the copper cup against the resonator after centering everything and a couple of test runs so nothing shorted while I was doing it.  Like I said, I used a 33000MFD 50V cap with about 12 volts on it.  I used a clip lead on that thick wire soldered to the sled and clamped the copper cup end on the V trough so it was good and stable. I can't believe this worked.

If anyone else wants to try this, I have a hundred feet of #34 nickel wire I would be glad to share. Or you can find it on ebay for about $6 delivered.
