 |
|
Picked up a NOS 6 volt Blue Streak super coil lately and can’t find any info on it. It’s a huge beehive shaped coil but other than looking cool I’m not sure if I should use it. Anyone have any experience with these? Can’t find any relevant info on line.

The one I have is from the 70s, the company is still around and yeah, it’s a big ass hand grenade!

Isn’t it just a plain old hot coil,
plus fins? |
