2026.441.1Scope and Content
Personal artifacts of my mentor Bill Wysock gifted to me from John Grzywacz. Bill was the pioneer of Tesla Coils in the 20th century and worked with kVA Effects and many Hollywood productions. He was originally a record master in life, working for Allen Zentz and mastering records for Aretha Franklin, Hoyt Axton, and others. He was an avid member of the Tesla Community, an Audiophile, and a great friend and inspiration. He worked at Aerospace Corporation, and knew Kenneth Strickfaden and his assistant Richard Gibson (Dick) Aurandt. He also built Dave Archer's famous Tesla Coil for making Electric Space Paintings, and the Model 13M, formerly the largest Tesla Magnifying Transmitter in the world making 56+ arcs.Context
