Thanks for the  link.

I found  a few other things on that site that  I have been  looking for .



I saw that  they  have  super caps there.
Do you know if super caps can  be put in series  to get  a higher effective  voltage?

I found  something  else  that might be  useful  for  someone here.

"unfinished " Kodak  camera  boards ...... it looks to me like all the  electronics  are there .

here is a picture of my crystal rectifier board

there is 120 diodes in it 5 groups of 4 per coil this will do 6 coils ..


30  full wave bridge rectifiers....

ist

the funny thing is i have 30 batteries too    really i have a few hundred ....  but 30 will do for now ...

they are from cordless fones ... i got them with all the surplus radio shack stuff i bought months ago for 7 bucks ....  literly 7 garbage bags full

the white kitchen ones ... a buck a bag ...  now thats my kinda deal    lol

any how 1 small foot step at a time .....

@ist

Thank for all your work, great replication, can't wait to see.

Welcome to the treat!

sorry but i have always had a hard time with this circuit.

The numbering on the T1 block diagram do not coincide with the numbering in the circuit
diagram.

As far as any fugi camera boards that i have.
I have taken apart a transformer to count the winding but using a ohm meter can confirm this.

I have changed the numbering on the block diagram to match the circuit diagram..

Thank you for taking the time to correct that transformer . I was wondering if anybody else caught that . It matches another transformer on a different fugi circuit . but in essence the connection are the same circuit wise . Basically remove the 220 ohm resistor  install a pot put  a cap across the the pot resistance and use one end plus the wiper  and replace the position of the 220 . then short out the Diode (theres only one on  aa fugi ) and output is where the HV cap was .. Simple . No ?
Best regards .

I got three of these . They put out voltage but wont light a clf yet . Lets work on em and other camera circuits like poloroid too . I also got a couple of those little Hv modules they hand . They WILL work down to 1 volt and put out a great deal of power . I also will try to modify this one as it looks very dependable
