Larry, That's really funny. Actually I have managed to find an Eisemann coil. I am having it and some other stuff sent overnight and I hope to make it to the fly-in this weekend. The cost for parts on that mag is obscene! Unfortunately, your humor was not funny enough to make me feel better about spending $300 on what looks like $50 worth of parts! At least I will finally have everything fixed right. Two Ercoupes were here at Morgantown yesterday on their way to College Park. The turnout must be going to be really good!
