Good to hear. What Reiyuki said. A little butane torch is great. I picked up an elcheapo from bunnings that uses a lighter as the fuel tank. $10 I think. My 10mm neos arrived today so it looks like I'll be joinig the SS party as well 
Well,i have my tricoil coil wound,and after a couple of hours testing,i see nothing out of the ordinary going on here. In fact,if i replace the magnets with an iron pin the same size,the efficiency of the coil/transformer rises.  Also,using my old circuit to pulse it,i now have the same average voltage across both CSR1 and CSR2,as i do with any ordinary off the shelf inductor. It would seem that the steel tube is needed to obtain the effect we are looking for. Brad
