I plan to buy a cheap magnetic Scotty dog in the toy store to find the North of my magnets, as I tend to lose track.Mosey
The cap came with the coil from Roy Sholls and I installed it. Is it a problem? I thought these coils need a cap to work properly.Mosey
Howell's instructions shows the heat-sink as "not-absolutely necessary", and only for "unusual circumstances cause it to heat up". He shows it mounted with a 2-56 pan-head screw, thru the transistor, thru the heat-sink, and to the board. "The tab is only for that purpose".
Yes, thanks Steve, Roy knows this stuff, and Caps are mentioned in Bob Shore's book as necessary. Cap is going to stay.Mosey
