[GreenKeys] Needed: GE horizontal oscillator coil

[amourdutigre]

Hi all,

As a few on this reflector know, I am restoring a TT/l-2 TU, which I consider the Cadillac of tube based TUs. It is a very complicated and sophisticated piece of electronic wonder from the strictly analog age of comms.

In contrast, I am also considering building a rather simple AFSK device based on the W2PAT TU/encoder. It used only one tube (6C5) for the oscillator and a 6X5 for the full wave rectifier. The parts count is low, and I will use point to point wiring with terminal tab strips. Even the power transformer is easily found from Hammond, and does not cost that much.

However, I will not even attempt to build this unit if I cannot find one part... a GE RLC-091 horizontal oscillator coil. I can not even find the spec sheet for this device to attempt to wind one myself, which I really do not want to do. The only thing that I know about it is that it is a 95 mH coil with a tap that is closer to one end than the other, and that it has an adjustable core.

Any advice as to where I can find one of these, or a substitute would be most appreciated. 

Thank you in advance!

Best and 73
