Hi everyone,

Yea this thread has slowed down. Come on guys this is not rocket science. If you have a schematic then you should be able to make something work. Its pretty simple really. The worst part of this whole thing is making the transformer. I prefer the bobbin and E core type. Although I have wound a toroid. Have any of you made a pcb for the ignition? That is where you needs to start at. other that the transformer installing the other parts is a matter of bending the leads to the right spacing and soldering in place. The transformer leads have to go on a certain spot. But if you make the transformer you know what leads are start of the primary, start of the feedback and secondary you will be ok.

Bert,

If you make one unit then yea parts will cost you more than you can buy one for. If you buy say 25 of each part then your get a break. Try looking at mouser electronics or your local electronic supply house for parts. they are really cheap. Most of the parts are passive components that are really cheap.
