Just finished kit and working good.

I only had to flip the gate drives around to get it working.
I only ran half power so far but it's running good.
Waiting for a new laptop to run the MIDI files but I have tested the interrupter so it should work.
Oh and I bought a refurbished computer, trading out for another laptop with XP so I don't have to worry about Windows 7 not having the MIDI driver!
Update on the used computer running XP. It took me 3 hours to get it running as it did not play MIDI through the USB port! again!!!
Here is the coil playing music at around 1/2 power.
After several minutes the primary gets hot enough to melt the hot glue holding the clips on.
Would recommend not using hot glue there!
