More coilers are getting better results quicker now due to the rapid spread
of info from such sources as chips list, our tapes, and the other cross
pollenation methods of the modern information age.
We had to bumble through all the rotten texts both new and old back in the
1980's and discover much on our own. I was amazed at just how wrong the
"old and new texts" were on what worked"period", much less what worked well.
Folks will reach "our level" with much less heartburn, hassles and monetary
expense, much faster due to the information age. Distrubuted videos plus
photo disemination over the internet quickly show the proof of the pudding
and "who" has "what" really working. In the pre-1990 books, no one had
photo proof of a coil they built ever working. If they did, (exceedingly
rare), it was usually underwhelming.
