I think litz has been explained.  Litz a contraction of litzendraht meaning woven wire.   You will find more on the web.  It's purpose is to reduce "skin effect" at frequencies between about mid audio and about  2 Mhz. Outside this range it has no advantage over plain wire.

Subject: [ARC5] HF Demonstrations

The issue of HF demonstrations at exhibits has come up before.  Here is a suggestion.  I have a MAB set, and I think an original headset for it but no antenna and no mike.  It even has crystals installed.  This would be a simple and easy way to enable 2 way communication between WW2 vintage equipment, and a hellava lot cheaper than a BC-611.  How about we make this available to the Group for such demos?

By the way, I have heard of Lintz wire but how does it differ from regular wire?  I just always assumed it was just tiny and thinly insulated.

DAve:  Did you mean you grafted an entire "miniature tube" IF section into an earlier set or just the IF transformer.
