[NJARC] IF Coil help

[Bill Zukowski]

Joe,

Are you sure it's an IF coil?  Looks more like an oscillator coil.

It's probably a honeycomb type winding, impossible to duplicate 
manually, a coil winder is what you need.  I remember seeing them in the 
Lafayette catalog when I was a kid.  Thought that I would never need 
one, and now people are asking ridiculous $ for them.

Additionally while it is specified 15.1 ohms, the inductance is the more 
important spec..  The wire is probably Litz wire.

Thanks,
Bill
