[Boatanchors] National SW-3 Coil Forms Wanted

[William Cromwell]

Hi Scott,

There are a lot of reasons besides 'nostalgia' to not modify the radios. 
I was hoping somebody might be ready to sell some surplus coils, too. 
What I have in mind to fabricate would not be mistaken for original 
equipment but would fit the existing sockets. I started on that project 
several years ago but I got sidetracked by family matters. I can't find 
my notes - including measurements of the pins and their spacing. I do 
have all the winding specs from National :) I want to get started soon 
but right now 'the pattern is full'. I have a pair of coils that cover 
160 meters and one pair of bare forms.

73,

Bill KU8H

> Hi Bill, Yes, that is an option to change the sockets but I won't do that.  It would be a major disruption of the radio and not be an SW-5 to me anymore.  I am fine using reproductions, or damaged wire coils and rewinding them myself.  I was hoping to at least come up a set of damaged wire coils for rewinding.
