Thanks Mate,

I have a few more Q's:

When winding a Transformer, if I wind the turns to one end, and that is 
enough, is it wrong to bring the end of the wire back down the transformer 
parallel to the core center leg ? or should I wind half to the end, then wind 
the other half back to the beginning ?

The transformer whistles badly, it is no where near the switching Freq 
(~52Khz) is this due to the way I wound it ?

Where can I buy materials to gap the cores, it says no metallic, so I guess 
anything I can get in sizes of say 1,2,5,10,20 mils would be fine :)

At least it does start, and sort of works, the output is a bit low, but I used 
just 1n4007 diodes instead of shotkey for the rectifier and the ones in the 
circuits around the primary (they were specked at controlled avalanche ones 
(1n5062 IIRC) But I can not find any in stock and no where is really open till 
Tuesday lol.

TIA
