*Some changes to parts have been done to accommodate LESKER redesigned cross:
 
−
**1) for Al output plate, the inner cut increased from 4.5 diameter to 10" diameter to match the cross (drawing #2013.1.001.0010-0008);
 
−
**2) for anode can, the slot size increased from 0.4" to 0.5" to march x-pinch wires length  (drawing #2013.1.001.0014);
