I had another appointment on Wednesday. A month ago, I got injections in my one good eye in an attempt to get rid of the fluid behind my retina that is affecting my site. The doctor was very pleased with the results so far. He said that most of the fluid is gone and he is hopeful that the treatment is. going to work. I got two Moore injections in the eye and will return in 6 weeks for another test. I may need more shots at that time and in fact, it could. be an ongoing thing. He just doesn't know yet. I really can't tell that the vision has improved but he is hopeful that it will. Even if they stop it from getting worse, I'll be ok with that. So, yesterday I celebrated by taking about a 100 mile ride. Sure felt good.

Well.... I pushed hard tonight, installed the replacement capacitor and the NPN coil transistors, and did a function test. The good news / bad news. The good news is that I didn't kill the black box. It still functions. The bad news is that the spark, though better, didn't improve as much as I hoped it would. Qualitatively, the spark has gone from 10% of what I wanted to see, to about 25% of what I wanted to see. It clearly is better though the " arc welder " spark I saw seems to be an anomaly. I see a hot spark from time to time, but not consistently. I really wanted to report an awesome victory to impress the one or two people who will see this post, you know, get a ticker tape parade and the key to the city, a statue and so forth. Alas it is not to be ! I have really run out of ideas / options at this point. Far be it from me, not to take this last opportunity to continue beating the subject to death. I do want to warn people who would like to replace bad capacitors, that most of the capacitors on the board are polar. They have a + and a - wire. The board is marked with a + for the + wire. The negative wire will be marked on the body of the capacitor. Just an FYI. My statue will forever rest off in the boonies, far from the Venture Hall of Heros !
