Greg,

Nice to see the scaled down ALF twins in action. Cool, rugged secondary`s!.

A couple of questions:

Have you got breakout points on those gorgeous toroids?.

Are you gating 2 separate, identical coils at the same time, so that 
they are free to settle on each their own frequency, or are the primary 
coils connected in a common loop, to ensure solid anti-phase operation?.

Am I seeing a 1-turn primary?.

Cheers, Finn Hammer
