 Hi All,

 SNIP
	

 	I do have one question.  Is there a way to hook up a neon lamp, high
 brightness LED,  etc. to shine on the rotor to indicate were in the ac
 cycle the rotor is at.  In other words, I am trying to get the gap points
 to line up at the peak of the AC cycle.  There must be some simple device
 to do this.  I do have a nice inductive timing light that may be a
 possibility too.  With my voltage probe down I can't see the cap voltage
 directly.

Hi Terry,

How about using a timing light from a car ? Hook it up to 12 volts and connect
the magnetic probe to one of the HV leads. You could even make it permanent
using a megnetic pickup and a small trigger/driver circ to run an LED.

Coiler greets from Germany,
Reinhard
