[Mk1]

@ALL

Concerning the positive feedback , it dose work ,but the mk8 is giving me better results for the same input, yes the positive feed back raises the overall output but you use 4 coil to do so , and those 4 coil could charge 4 more caps , in this view the overall gain may be marginal.

You can experiment with it , but build a mk1 first learn to tune it and go mk6 or 8 , you will then see the potential, and have learned valuable knowledge .

I still have the same question.
How do I connect the two pickups in series? Is it the same way as the Joule thief coils are connected?
