Re: [TCML] srsg to vari speed rsg

[Scott Bogard <sdbogard@xxxxxxxxx>]

I was thinking more a propeller gap with unused stationary electrodes, that
could be reconnected at will.  You could always add top capacitance to
cancel out the extra primary inductance when you cut your cap size,
assuming you have the power draw to support a larger top load, not sure if
that is applicable to your situation.  But at any rate I love the ASRSG, I
did sync once, and got poor results, switched to ASYNC and things worked
much better.  I know now what I did wrong, poorly sized cap and all, but I
still won't go back, ASYNC is too easy to build, and smaller caps are
cheaper, and I love the brightness only high BPS can afford.
