[AMRadio] Globe King tank coils

[Brett Gazdzinski]

Quite some time ago, I had a GK500c and it had a ceramic
coil form.
I heard the C model went with the ceramic forms, but maybe the early
ones used up the old forms?

I think I remember reading an add for the 500c where they said
the forms were ceramic...
