@Wistiti - your best bet may be antique sales and Craigslist/Freecycle. Look for "1940's vintage floor standing radio needing TLC". In other words, a large Firestone or other tube driven radio set in bad shape, for cheap Am delighted to report that TinselKoala has tried my simple 555 method of obtaining the 1.7kHz drive signal. He used the component values as posted above. He has also followed IONs advice of changing to a Horiz Deflection TV transistor. Such transistors are on every old CRT monitor, sat on large heatsinks that wrap around the flyback. 1500V/50W capable. Caveat - It is likely that 1.7kHz is the correct signal injection for TK's windings, but may not apply for all builds. Here's his video, uploaded today: [youtube]eLsYULBKvXA[/youtube]
