Re: yoke resonant frequency

Hello,

Just a thought...

  Back in high school I took an old TV and ran wires from the yoke to
a connector on the back. I plugged the speaked outputs of a (really) cheap
stereo in there and "watched" some music. It was a 13 inch TV and a
5W/channel amp and I was able to get full deflection (at least on the lows).
So, would it be possible to just throw an LM12 or possibly a smaller audio
amp at the yoke [LM12 is basically a massive op-amp. was it 50 or 100W]?

  BTW, the yoke I used had 8ohms (DC) on one winding and 32 on the other
which had a center tap - I cut that one and put the 2 halves in parallel
to get 8ohms total. That was of course before I had a clue about the
word "impedance" :-) Oh well, it worked nicely and all my friends started
hacking apart old TVs.
