        Morgon, how do the coils hold up to being in the oven with the
units?  I'm assuming that they are in the oven, I s'pose... If I'm
wrong, please explain the process you use when combining an induction
heater with oven pumping.  My concern is that the coils may not be
made to withstand repeated heatings up to annealing temp and back down
before (or after) having been used to heat the electrode(s).

        Thanks!
