I've received a lot of questions about the new coil:

The form is a pool chemical container from about 20 years past. 

Resorting to a more sensible measurement standard I conclude the following:

Total turns counts 325

Coil length 375 mm

This indicates a wire size of AWG 17 which is 1.15 mm diameter  (375 mm 
/ 325 turns = 1.1538 mm per turn)

Coil diameter 350 mm

This calculates to approximately 24 mH which is close to the 25 mH I 
initially measured which I later revised to 26.1 mH.

However I've made so many calculation errors recently this also may 
change :)
