Re: Re: [TCML] method of routing secondary wire to toroid

[Ken or Doris Herrick <kchdlh@xxxxxxxxx>]

This leads me to amplify a bit about mine:  I mount the toroid using 3 
hollow standoffs fastened to the web of the 6"x24" Landergren toroid, 
which slip down over 3 pins mounted to the top plate of the secondary.  
The juice flows thru one of those connections.

As to the other end, I took an electrical "plug button", some 1 1/4" in 
diameter  (the object that is used to plug a hole in an electrical box), 
mounted it on the bottom plate at the center, and soldered the low end 
of the secondary to it.  Then just a small spring standing up in the 
center of where the coil mounts conducts the juice to ground.  That way 
I can just plop the coil down in place without worrying about 
orientation or plugging anything in.
