It is unknown or forgotten by me whether the chokes aid or oppose. Keep looking.

Should they be aiding? Or should they be opposing (bucking)? The two chokes that is.
I can also see the L2 coil appears to have fewer wraps of wire. At least is looks a bit smaller in diameter to me.
Just wanted to post this worksheet so that we can all be on th same page.
We Do Need To Make Corrections..
Wish I could help more but I'm not sure about the coil orientation.
PS: This was done in paint so anybody can make changes
Nav, you remove turns from L2, that is the " wiper arm" its a thing you tune by removing turns a few at a time ( lets say 25 at a time) until you see the results your looking for. Matt explained this quite well above.
hope this helps.

Matt, the secondary and L1 are aiding each other and the secondary and L2 are opposing each other.
That's how you get a B+ voltage and B- voltage. Compare the two photos below and you can see the aiding and opposing.
The second photo came out of the Grobb book if you want to look it up. It's in the chapter 19 Inductance. It will also teach you how to calculate the mutual inductance of aiding and opposing coils. I'm not getting into the Math of it all, Right now I just want everyone to be able to Identify all the working parts of the VIC.
Here is a blank pattern of my VIC Ronnie, all the coils are wound in the same direction and the voltage polarization is marked on each coil. The diode is also present. Can you take the blank picture and fill in the missing adjoining wires please, this is so important and I don't want to get it wrong. Thanks.

I'm thinking its like this Ronnie.
Just a small query, if you have even cell numbers it doesn't work out like pictured below. When in series only odd configurations work out.
Russ if you remember Stan saying in one of his video's he was talking about a tv and how you adjust the B+ voltage. You can do this either by taking turns off the L2 or add turns to L1. But for the Math of everything to keep B+ higher than the B- and to keep it equal and balanced, This goes back to what Nav was talking about when he was stating the coils are matched. What ever you take off the L2 it must be added back to L1 if that makes any since. That way you only take off half of what you need on L2 and add back to L1. Man this VIC is a complicated little animal for it to be nothing but a bunch of wire coiled up on a core. Lol The biggest thing is identifying each part of the VIC and how they work together and knowing how to calculate the math for each part to come up with a working end result when your done. You must know what the end result needs to be before you even start. I have described the end result in my posts, so that ought to give some insight of what everyone should be working towards. You want, as in Stan words (Voltage stimulation) (Electron Bounce) (Electron Movement) (Current Flow) what ever the term you want to use along with High Voltage, within the cell but not get back to the Secondary that's the end result.
Ronnie the coil setup is for the 2 core vic?or for the original vic?because its diferent from Don's drawings...he has the start of L1 to + and finish of L2 to -.In your drawing the 2 finishes of the chokes conect to +&- of the cells
