[R-390] Mechanical Filter Repair

[Flowertime01 at wmconnect.com]

The finest size I have is 38 gauge but the filter requires 42 gauge .0025 mil.

Keith,

You do not have to use exact wire. It must be small enough to fit.
I do not know how close 38 is to 42 but Its likely good enough.

One place to find small wire is 110 volt relays and solenoid valve coils in 
washing machines. That's a scrounging venture. Auto relays are another place.

Wind the critter back with what you have and give it a try.
Likely you do not have enough RF isolation in the shack to let you detect the
difference in the rebuilt filters performance.
