[Lowfer] Litz wire source??

[Dale Rice]

Hi Tom,

The windings on the 59LF coils are not visible from the outside.
I decided to open up one of my coils and take a peek but the way that
the wires are soldered to the pins it won't come completely apart.
I was going to describe what I saw in there but decidedto look in the manual
first and was very surprised by the description I found there. I will try to
post this stuff after I scan it but here is one for starters.

L201 COIL: R.F. DOUBLE WINDING of 7/41 Litz wire, Univ. wound on iron core,
inner winding 20 turns; outer winding 295 turns (5850 uh) tapped 15 turns
from start; approx. 1-1/16" o.d. x 3/4" lg; 9/64" dia. mtg. hole.
Measurements Corp. Part H-4927, or Part H-4923 for complete Plug-In Coil
Assembly.

I'm glad I didn't have to unwind mine to count the turns!
