Hi, been there and done that. flipped over the primary, didnt make a bit of
difference that i could see. no difference between left and right wound
secondary coils. both coils were wound on a lathe, to the exact turns, in
the same place on the same core material. i even made sure the leads to the
primary were the same length for either direction. no difference. there was
a slight difference
with different lengths of leads to the primary. cul brian f.
