Final adjustments.
Posted: Sat Oct 19, 2013 2:47 am
I was getting a couple of light burn marks on the stamped toroid where my secondary toroid did not make complete contact with the stamped toroid. The breakout point was also sitting slightly higher than if it were on the stamped toroid so I felt like I wanted to get the breakout point a little lower so it is just that much closer to ground.
I wrapped up another length of hose just the right size so it sits snugly around the stamped toroid. Then I used some aluminium tape to seal the circumference of the stamped toroid which also creates a mating surface for the secondary toroid. That solves that minor burning issue I was getting.
Tested the secondary resonance and it is now at 267kHz. Gave it a quick test run and all looks well. Had a couple of ground strikes on fixed frequency testing too. So with that said, I also did some midi tests as attached.
