It is working much better now. I checked the HOT and it was running rather high at 210-220 mA. I adjusted the coil, this is the chassis where you shunt your meter over a 4.7 ohm resistor in series w/the control and just adjust for lowest voltage. I was able to bring it down a bit, and the fly is running much much cooler now.
This one was running hot to the point where you could smell the polyester from the HV cage if you were within a couple feet of the TV. That went away now as the fly is running cool. Just a slight adjustment to bring the current down makes the biggest difference. Just need to fix the vertical problem now, that will be this evening. Ive got some time now to fix it.
