Notice. New forum software under development. It's going to miss a few functions and look a bit ugly for a while, but I'm working on it full time now as the old forum was too unstable. Couple days, all good. If you notice any issues, please contact me.
But look at those toroids :o https://youtu.be/paUz6n_WIs8?t=170

A pair of toroids that size will still make a nice honest little inverter Cheers Aaron Off The Grid

Thanks for the link. He is good. So keen. I haven't seen one of those solvent press-down dispensing pot thingies he used since my training days over 50 years ago. Nice hot soldering iron as well.
Yes, the toroids were a sight for sore eyes so to speak

I had to go look to see what you were talking about. I have two of those that live on my bench and still get used every day. I didn't realise they were that old ... though thinking about it, I bought them about 40 years ago from WES Components in Sydney.
A friend told me about some more new ones in a reject shop somewhere and he bought them for me ... and they're still sitting in the cupboard waiting for the others to wear out. Cheers, Roger
