[R-390] Z503 Question

[bavarianradio at comcast.net]

I have been wondering this myself, If the coil/capacitor are resonant at or around 455 khz, as long as the dc resistance is close, why wouldn't it work?? I suspect that the powdered iron cacoon was there for radiation shielding, but we don't need to worry too much about that (there are no tracking subs under this building...) any more. Why couldn't we take an IF can from an AA5 and remove one of the windings to make it a coil???  If I can find some time in the near future, I may try it and report back. Thanks Ross W1EKG

I did and it works. But its not original. I put it in its original can
like those who
steam the ukkumpucky out of the GI electrolytic cans (I didn't go that
far when
I replaced those).
