Re: [TCML] Sync gap setup

What type of capacitors are you guys using for the phase controller? 


Thanks,

Hey Brad, 
Johns phase controller is worth every bit of effort and then some! 
I am a novice and the one I built works perfectly. 
The time you would invest in figuring out the controllers cap size and 
circuitry far outweighs the time you would invest in fiddling around 
with an adjustable cradle or shaft position. 

John, if I never thanked you before, let me thank you now!!!
