'Nice schematics, Tom and Steve. Especially of the coil. It looks like I stand corrected and publicly embarrassed myself. Nevertheless, thanks all for your frankness. I see that my mistakes were not looking at my own schematics and assuming that switching coil leads would force the primary and secondary windings to swap roles. Thanks for your clear explanation and for explaining that the high voltage discharge from the coil will be opposite the coil's low tension polarity. You can spank me, or use a ball bat.
