Fw: Fw: [HBR] coil shields

Sun, 14 Apr 2002 13:17:27 -0500

They used to have manufactured coil shields ...James Millen ? 
but would be impossible to find today. Can't think of really thin 
aluminum that size ....yes, I can.....soft drink cans (maybe too 
thin). Take the paint off with MEK ? flatten the base and cut a 
hole in it for the socket. Figure out some way to dull the edge 
a little ...maybe "glue on" split wire insulation or "roll" it. If you 
need a larger shield, "Foster's" makes a larger one.  Other 
than that, take thin aluminum sheet stock, bend it over a mandril, 
and pop rivit it into cylinders. Tabs on the bottom for mounting.

 I did a little touring around the web last night looking for a source of
shields for plug in coils.  Didn't find anything.  The first thought I
had
was was Campbell soup cans but they look pretty mickey mouse to me after
sitting one on a receiver chassis.  Anyone ever try making some that have
that professional zing to them.
