[ARC5] Heathkit GD-1B

[Robert Eleazer]

I am now the proud if rather chagrined owner of a Heathkit GD-1B Grid Dip Meter.  I tried to destroy it within minutes of unpacking it but screwed up and it is still more or less intact.  Anyway, it is missing all of its coils, and while I have a copy of the manual, it does not give any info on the coils other than some simple drawings.  Apparently the coils came pre-built.

So, can anyone provide me with any info on the size and number of turns of the coils?  I probably can make some using pill bottles or PVC pipe or something but I need to know how many turns and the coil diameter.

All my ARC-5 connectors and mike elements have been shipped to you by express priority mail.  Based on the ALL CAPS of your message I assumed the situation was dire.  I did not read the 2nd half of the message until too late.  Please give them a good home.  I also included some kittens the neighbors were giving away.
