ah .. not quite
Matt that is not what I wrote at all .. I indicated that the electronics and chips are fine .. in fact preferable … but only if .. and its a huge if , they can substitute or improve on something they could have done back in the day … for instance they would not have had the technology to trigger on a phase angle for instance, or by digital summation …. It being that they did not have the means, that being so in all likely hood it does not pertain . Other things that they obviously would have to do by hand like adjust resonance for instance .. I see no reason why phase locked loops and the like shouldn't be employed .. I hope you see the difference .. if it was impossible for the engineers at that era in time to achieve something we can easily do today with a chip … it probably does not relate to the basic operation.
I certainly don't mean abandon electronics and chips . As an example the motor could be replaced perhaps with an H bridge … Royer oscillator or perhaps CT .. push pull transformer and oscillator as there is armature action .. however not a PWM as they simply did not have that technology available.
In fact they had no semi conductors in that era as far as I know and as for programmable anything … I think not... unless it was the size of a house.
