UPDATE, MARCH 6, 2019, DAY 218 FROM MIKE

Greetings. While I am waiting for more parts for the high voltage cage rebuild, I have taken a step back in order to repair the Burst Amp coil that I previously reported to be broken. I found the iron core in the bottom of the cabinet when I removed the chassis a few months ago. I later learned where the core came from. The powdered iron core was mostly intact and all that was needed was JB Weld Epoxy, and then fine sanding in order to restore its original cylindrical shape. The JB weld worked equally as well on the coil form repair.

Pict. #1 Broken coil assembly
Pict #2 Broken core and bent lead screw
Pict #3 Broken coil form
Pict #4 Repaired and straightened iron core and coil.
Pict #5 The finished coil re-assembled and ready to install in to the chassis

The high voltage cage rebuild will be completed next.

Cheers, Mike
