Hey, I wish I'd thought of that first!

Now the next problem is which mix to use - I suppose low-band freaks would
use an Amidon -2 mix and the 10 fans would use -6? I  think -10 would look
better, being more in keeping with the original colour scheme. If you really
want to jazz things up you could use Philips ferrite toroids, 'cos they come
in all sorts of delicate pastel colours. Oddly enough a T130-n would fit
quite nicely if you use 2mm enamelled wire to wind it ... but PRE-WOUND:
nah, that's for wimps :-)
