Completed the kit.
Some pads were difficult to solder. They seemed to be covered with something that keeps the solder from flowing freely. I gave them a good clean and then it worked.
Coil started up at once. Nice sparks, music also worked at first start. I guess during shipping the secondary must have rubbed on something as I get secondary arcs.
Is there anything I can use to re-seal the srcondary? On my old SGTC a thin layer of transparent spray paint did the job. I will have to take it apart once more anyway as the hot glue here in Germany does not seem to be as reliable as on your side of the big waters. It holds the stuff in place but comes off quite easily.
