I have one of the coils with the separate resistor. I'll post a picture this afternoon when I get home.
Steel Soldiers now has a few new forums, read more about it at: New Munitions Forums!
Bill, is the Alan Bowes article on Steel Soldiers? I would like to read it so I can learn a little more.If your getting 6ohms means the resister is letting to much voltage to the coil/windings, this has been a ongoing problem with imported coils, if this was me I would ad a external resister to the dist power lead this will give lower voltage to the coil to which it will run cooler. This symtom was quite common back in the points and condenser days of automobiles, I had a 1968 Olds F85 that the coil had a bad ( internal ) resister, when it got to hot the car would shut down and about 30 minutes later ( after coil cooled down ) it would start right up and run like a champ. Alan Bowes did a great write up on this problem with the M-37 coils and if I can find page 2 of that article I will be able to tell you what ohm resister to buy/add to the power lead
P.S. TGP no luck ( yet) on the stacked coil pic

Jim, did your solution work? I seem to be having a very similar problem. Thanks, Mark
I put an electronic regulator but no efffect except a lighter wallet.I finally rooted my problem in the voltage regulator. Once that sucker was replaced, my system has been rock solid.
