Weird Coilbox Switch Idea

Post by ThreePedalTapDancer » Sat Dec 17, 2022 4:22 am

As seen on EBay. I assume it’s an attempt at a master vibrator.

The coils are Heinze 1914 coils.
I can't find a picture off the contact points in front of the coilbox.
For my it is an attemp for building a mastercoil in a Heinze switch.
The litle coil under the points look like one of a K&W mastercoil.

Just my opinion.

It seems odd to me that points would be where the on off/bat mag switch would be. I don't suppose it's an anti-theft device. :lol:
There is always something new to see here.

When did I do that?
