I do. I see now that I had the battery oriented backwards in my picture in post #42. Isn't the picture below what my circuit should look like, or am I still misunderstanding something? (The LED still is not lighting up.)To reiterate my suggestion for the circuit about which I made my original comment (last one pictured) it would be insufficient to bias the transistor using a variable resistor and not change the coil connection nect to the "+" side of the battery. You can try the bias idea or not, but you must change the way your coil is connected.
I reiterate this comment so that it doesn't get lost in the background noise. Please ask if you have any further questions ( I mean the TS )
