@all

I still have not build a AV plug , to tell the truth i have no clue where to start.

Any recommendation would be great , i want to try it on the tube .

Diodes to used ?

I use logic doides.. the little orange and black stripe diodes!  2 diodes comming from each side of an LED and then twist the ends of the diodes together!  very easy!!!   

Take a look at this!

I would expect you to be interested in this and be able to advance!!!

think about adding your AG coild to this set up!

Stprue I have been following Dr Stiffler's work for quite awhile.
His exiter circuits are really amazing.
I have made a few videos of exiters I made using his circuit.
I even made a couple videos using a JT to run his SEC exiter.
I would highly recommend replicating his sec 15 circuit.
It can be made in no time for under $5 in parts.

But I just wanted a circuit I could call my own lol.

@Xee2 I tried as you said with the plates.
It's just like you said it does extend the field range.
But I couldn't get the lights as bright using the plates.
But I havent given up yet on it.
Adding the extra coils inside each other does make the lights a light brighter and the current draw only goes up around 2mA per coil.
I'd like to make around four coils inside each other then use the plates when I'm done.

Thank you.

Info received slayer!  Thank you

xee I bet you have the conponents to test this circuit!     .......     You should!

I got a electronic flyswatter board. It only has one transistor. The circuit looks like a JT with a voltage doubler. Someone said there were two transistors, so maybe there is more than one version of this board. Mine also has some empty spaces on the PC board.

XEE2:

That is the boards I have from the 2 I purchased.  They exactly match.  I was going to do a photo but, now I don't have to. 

Wilby said to remove the cap and the resistor under the cap.  I am not sure why we should do this.  If it puts out 1,500 volts to the screen the way it is, then why should we change it?

Unless, like the legendary Fuji circuit, a few changes actually make it run like a JT?

I have not had the time to experiment with this board so, let me know what you discover.  As I said, I have 2 of them.  What a deal for like $6.00.
