Default Light at the end of a tunnel

There is light at the end of the tunnel !!! Getting somewhat caught up with past orders etc .
I do have 4 Harmon Collins dual coils to do that I have had for sometimes . Two of them only run on four cylinders !! I need to take them apart snd these need to be checked with and with out the secondary ( plugs and coil )
That’s the problem with these sometimes the secondary ring is shorted snd looses four cylinders . Takes some time to correct this ! I will
Post on the fix ( if there’s a fix ).

Bubba: Do you have a H&C Kurten Model 12 rotor? I am wondering what they look like. It appears the second coil pick up is a ring around the inside of the tall cap. Sometimes called the rabbit ear cap.

No but I have rebuilt a few kitten units the rotor is a special two tier unit that fires on that cap ring , the rotor would be really really rare ...
