@Altrez,
Thank you, yes, the EER is still happly working, the single LED is not so bright tonight.

I am currently working on using a JT to charge a bank of 242 volt cells, it's going a bit tough though.

There is a couple of things in the NS pipeline as well.

I havent seen Bill posting around, might fireup the landline in the morning and see if he is OK.

I used the schematic kooler posted and just added a maxcap when voltage would normally go in.

Pg. 848 has the diagram reposted by SM

Just charge the cap and connect it to the + and - rails input of the circuit.

Looks like it would run a long time lol. I need to order some of those transistors.
