I Think the 3 groups of contacts spaced 120 degrees were used to signal the firing to the rotor-stator coils. The intermediate contacts that are spaced 40 degrees were used to signal a firing through the conversion tube.It was noted by John Wooten
that not all of the intermediate contacts were used.
Bedini states that the motor would run without the conversion tube, I tend to agree. After multiple setups, trying different combinations of things to get the inductive load to function thru the wire off the grids I met failure everytime. I now believe the conversion tubes function was as merely a battery charging device.
Ok I made a video, sorry its pretty dark but you can see the motor moving.

Now I had something elts to try, I attached one lead of my Small DC test motor to the Positive Post of the Battery and the other motor lead to the Grid. Fired up my test setup and the high voltage jumped to grid but the motor wouldn't wiggle. I turned the rig off adjusted my high voltage electrode closer to the grid and, nothing. I repeated this procedure several times moving the electrode closer and closer to the grid. At about 3/32" I got a little movement in the test motor. Touch the electrode to the grid, and the motor started turning.
