First Light....

Got first light tonite from my single 833a VTTC. It has a few 
problems. Still waiting on some parts but, It works pretty good. 
Notice the leak at the top of the feedback coil. I can only power up 
to about 50% on my variac now with that going on...Looking to rebuild 
on a compact base soon.

I also had it running last night in a staccato mode of some sort 
using my computers parallel port, a 3055 transistor and a large SCR. 
This is why I ask the question about the SCR's. You remember, SCR's 
are either off or on? Correct or not? I then change over and was 
using a small LED blinking curcuit I have and a 9 Volt Battery.
