@ All:

Stefan has been kind enough to make me a moderator on my topics.  So, if anyone has posted somethnig, say a schematic, that later turns out to be incorrect and they want it removed for clarity, pm me with the page number and a title of the posted diagram and I can now remove it.

This will also help me greatly with the other topic as I have had folks tell me that something is not correct and by the time I go back...it was too late for me to change it.  So, if anyone notices any errors on the diagrams topic, same thing, let me know I and I will make the change.  Thank you all again.

@Bill,
Thanks for the kind words Bill, and it is also good to know you have been made a moderator of your forum, congradulations.
So that is what all those green stars are for ha ha 

I do have a post for you to take care of, I will PM you its location, TA

@ Jim:

Nice find at the scrap yard!!!  I ran across a place on the net that sells used traffic lights....just the leds....I'll see if I can dig it up.  Good way to get a bunch of them.  Nice toroids!  Looks like some of them are pretty thick, you will have a lot of fun with those I'll bet.

I'm surprised you all didn't hear my yell of surprise when I hooked them up and they all lit up, whacko hooray.

@all,
If you look closley at one of them (torids), there is 2 inside one wire wrapps, soooo what have we here? I have heard we can piggyback torids one on top of each other heres proof.

Would Jeanna be able to make a double torid of each JT she posted 2day in her amazing circuit?
instead of her single JT torids, I bet there is heeps more power to tap out of them now. Sorry Jeanna, no rest for you tomorra he he

Congradulations Jeanna, on your amasing success with your present JT.
Now a hint, begin to think about paralling up the second stages.

Whats the final gole all? turn it into a power station. GRUNT n MUSCLE      eeeee harrrrr

@jeanna  bravo! i just love the way you take the basic jt and keep on extending it.


@jim  wow, nice score  , i'm jealous


@stprue  nice builds! glad you took the perfect timing comment the way i meant it, after i read it, i realized it might be construed the wrong way.

@all
