[R-390] Spiral-making tool website?

[Al Parker]

Hi Bill,
    I think that's how the BBOD's were made, at least some.  Looks like a 
little glob of solder real close to the body.  I don't think Hammarlund did 
it.  I haven't tried to see just what's under the glob, but I don't think 
it's big enuf to hide more that a turn or 2 of a squig.  I've got a jar full 
of them, I'll look more closely, even have some NOS ones.
