I am looking for a sorcerer or maybe a beautyfull sorceress will be better to learn to do some sorcery.

Re: need a sorcerer
Most of the coils you have pictured are not worth the effort to repair. Here in the U.S. they are easy to find. Since you are in Europe, I suggest ebay.
You probably don't have cores that are rebuildable. You can buy coils from Fun Projects, or other dealers such as Langs.

There is a fellow near you who does fantastic work with coils. I'll try to find his name.

I believe I detect a bit of trans-Atlantic leg-pulling going on here.

Trust the FORCE Andre
The past is a great place and I don't want to erase it or to regret it, but I don't want to be its prisoner either.

Yoda - messing with the coil boxes while the engine is running, learns a valuable lesson, he does!

Re: need a sorcerer
I think he can get 4 good operating coil boxes out of his assortment. He will have to replace some parts, I'm sure. But he will have to work on them quite a bit.
He might want to see if he can trade them in as cores on some rebuilt and adjusted units. That would be the easiest route. I know a LOT of coil rebuilders have been running short of cores to rebuild recently. That is what I would try first.

Re: need a sorcerer
Explains the new capacitor difference from the previous ones. New is better. The manufacturers part number and spec is displayed

Re: need a sorcerer
Today I get the visit of a GOOD Witch.
Here is what we did together. Made 6 out of 8
The metal top coil need only a refill
The others need the points and are waiting for the new capacitors I ordered last week.
