Re: Model T Buzz Coil-a few more questions
I have one of those buzz coils but know nothing about them cept from these threads. I would venture to say this one is probably quite typical as it's in a wood box with "FORD" on the front side. Some of the Re's make mention of the "top side" the terminal(s) on the bottom side, left side, right side... I would like also to test this one and can do so by following the suggestions in this thread. Where the problem is, I don't know what "top", "bottom", "right side", "left side" is. The measurements of this box are ( measuring with it standing on end, contact points on top, "Ford" printing facing me ) 5" tall, 3-1/4" in width & 2" thick. (depth) There are two contact points (solder connections) on the left side and one on the bottom side when sitting in said position. Am I correct in assuming that one of the two solder points on the left side is for + or - from battery and the other for the timer and is the lone connection on the bottom for the spark plug? Is the condensor on the inside of the wood box or is/was that mounted remote? If in the wood box, how does one go about getting the box open without cracking or destroying it?
