I think I did that.

If you think I did not, please put it on the drawing or something like that, because I cannot follow your words very well.

thank you,

Well , its not like the schematics , So you tried both ?

And you did try the dc+ in the second coil in both direction?

@ All:

This is a little off-topic but then maybe not really.  I just won an ebay auction on my scope.  It is the Tektronics 2213 with dual channels and a range of 60-99 mgHz.  Here is a photo.  MrMags was very helpful to me in deciding if this was a good price or not.  I started bidding on it at $5.00 and ended up getting it for $104.50.  It even has the original manual with it. (thank God)  I can't wait to begin to try to learn how to use it.

Yes, and one way was higher than the other.

Lets see, I have been trying to make this like the schematic. Is there any way you can describe this to Jesus, for instance, so he can fix the schematic?

that would make things great.

I doubt you will find too many people as doggedly determined and persistent and tenacious as I am. If you want people to be able to make this, it needs to be at least very clear since it is inherently so confusing.

Just a suggestion.

thank you,

Oh Bill, I am so jealous. wow.....congratulations!

@Jeanna

I will fix it if it need to , i am not sure yet , since you can't make it work , is it because of the drawing ?

I need to confirm it for my self first .Are you sure also about the phasing of the coil the positive from the bridge you did try
connected to each ends of the second coil?
