*Warning! Frustration being vented!*

i am getting really p'd off now! I set up my dual coil motor about a week or two ago (3 transistor circuit) and have rebuilt it three time now because every time i turn it OFF all the transistors mysteriously (and subtly) fry! I don't get it. It runs great for hours with no heat in the circuit but then as soon as i swap the batteries for the first time (always disconnecting the primary battery first) it stops working! After investigation i find all three of the transistors are dead! The neons are hooked up and i have never had any problems like this before. It only began happening once I started using a higher guage wire to connect the batteries and balanced the circuit though i don't see why that would do cause it to fry from being turned off.

well, now there are no more 2n3055 transistors within 50 miles of here so have to buy them online. Hopefully theyll be here before the weekend!
