Mode Zero

My two favourite sparkers.. The OS has been flown in my Stentorian.. The AH Stentor will be flown in the future.

Can't beat the bark of a sparkie. Never had one yet. I aim to remedy that very soon.

Excellent Jef.. I've always been a big sparkie fan along with diesels.

I have a casting for a Sugden Special. Always wanted to make another one after I half finished one at school but it got misplaced after I left. Bought the casting around 20 years ago with good intention but it never happened. My mate then sold his lathe so I use it as a paper weight now.

Shaun , do you now where I can buy 4 volt coils for the old sparkies

Regards Jef

Hi Jef,
I may (slim chance) have a spare one, I'll look for you tomorrow. Not been in the engine box for a few years. You could always use the coil that OS supplied with there remanufactured K6 Sparker. I'm sure they will still supply it as a spare. I have also seen new old stock coils for sale on the US eBay site on a number of occasions as well.

Cheers,

Shaun.

Prices on eBay are quite high , from 70 to 100 € for a coil
And then the shipping and taxes on imports from the US for about half of the amount paid

Larry Davidson in the U.S. does his own coils which can take up to 3.7v. US$40.00.
He advertises in 'sticks and tissue' and knows his stuff.
