This is a custom built coil for a gentleman in Oregon. It is based on a drawing from an original Elgin Hafa-Hors coil. I have no idea if it is completely to scale as the dimensions are based on the artists drawing and some measurements provided by the owner of the original engine. I could not find an original Elgin coil #11 to make patterns from. The diameter of the coil is 2-3/8" and it is 4-1/2" long. Inside of the coil is a standard Modeignition buzzboard and coil, that have been modified to run when power is applied to the posts. The timing led was requested by the client and I have posted before and after pictures showing it with and without the led. The vibrator spring does work and the 'tuning knob' functions just as it would on a regular buzzcoil, but the parts do not contribute to the spark in any way, they are there to complete the look of the original.
Update: These units are under revision to improve performance. Due to the nature of these engines a larger coil may be needed. Having worked on a couple of them in the shop to get them running, I am working on a new coil pack for this manufacture of engine.
