Tony, that PCB looks great, there are a lot of chips on it... I assume you have external pots for adjusting and tuning the circuit.
Still a big issue: your PCB circuits (PICKUP, PULSING, GATING etc) has to match with your VIC coils and WFC cell.
I understand your "iron powder" VIC core is not good enough for high voltage (step-up) generation?
I am still experimenting with core materials for my VIC coils.
Well just keep upgrading your PCB Tony, your are making a good reference prototype PCB.
Good work!
