It's amazing what happens when the "Call of the Old" hits us... I finally
found some No. 26 enameled wire (found everything else... 24, 28, you
name
it, but no 26), and wound the missing L1 for 80m for my 1964 HBR-11.
Couldn't dig up any APC caps (Murphy's Law - I know, darned good and
well,
that they're out there, somewhere!), so took an APC clone from a piece of
throwaway chassis, and it was a 100mmfd (before pf, guys), so figuring
that
I needed a 50, I cut the sucker in half - worked great.  True thrills
were
mine, when I plugged it into the socket, and it worked first time, with
very
little "adjusting".  The coil form came out of the ORIGINAL "Allied
Radio"
box  (dated 1963), so I don't know which I'm happier about - the coil or
the
really "cool" box.

Now to dig up the caps for the Heathkit AT-1.  6L6's rule the world.
