It did teach me a few things and I know it can be done now if I had too. I had it down to where the only modern part on it was the diode and I was going to try to eliminate that by making a plate contact with some heat treated copper in a borax bath (like the crystal cells) but I never got around to that. I started cheating and put a solid state relay on it.
