[R-390] Filters

[Bob Camp]

Hi

It might not hurt to try and figure out what the wire is made out of. It may not be anything very crazy to buy more of. Practicing with the right type of wire is probably the only way to get the weld process right.  The ideal weld is one that breaks at roughly the same pull  as the wire.

I'm not sure what the wire size is, probably something less than #40, which means it's going to be real hard to deal with.  I think I could come up with another sled/flea clip arrangement that would reach into the copper cup and weld it on (capacitive discharge) close  or even right on the resonator.  I don't think it's worth trying to unsolder the copper cup off the last resonator.  I'm willing to play with it, but the only wire I find (US) is #34 nickel for about $8.  It might be worth playing with unless I can come up with a 4K filter with only bad bobbins.
