Hi Rob, Al and Team,
That’s the first clue that we’ve received from anyone, so getting excited now.
I have more coils in boxes (New In Box) unopened, but with different frequency ranges, of the same style.
Thes coils have been “kicking around” our members for some time and nobody has come up with any answer here in UK, so I thought I’d try you guys across the pond, from where they came from 😊.
So perhaps not military (unless there were military and civilian versions of a piece of equipment)
Any further information appreciated.
One is Oscillator Coil MI-796-E-1 made by RCA Victor Division, New Jersey.
Another one is Power Amplifier Coils 4500-6000 Kc MI-8478-E-1 also made by RCA Victor of New Jersey.

Did RCA make any BC-339?
MI stands for Master Index, used by RCA for their commercial stuff.

Hello,
I’m trying to make contact with someone in the States regarding vintage AM equipment and I’ve heard you guys over the years on the old military radio net (WEBSDR) and wanted to try and get in touch. I think we’ve spoken by patching through in the past.
My name is Martin (M0MGA) and I operate a lot on 3.615Mhz on AM with vintage wireless such as WS12, WS19, WS62, DX100U, ART13 Clansman radio’s and much more.
Here in UK we are trying to identify some coils which look like BC610 coils but we don’t think they are. Can you help along with your colleagues possibly.
The first one is Oscillator Coil MI-796-E-1 made by RCA Victor Division, New Jersey.
The second one is Power Amplifier Coils 4500-6000 Kc MI-8478-E-1 also made by RCA Victor of New Jersey.
Many thanks in advance.
Best wishes,
Martin
