Hi TMC lovers!

I am in need of another part for my PAL 350 restoration project. This
time it is a 120 uh choke coil used in the screen grid bypass
circuitry to keep the RF in the final enclosure. It is wound on a
little ferrite rod. It appears that these chokes are a popcorn part in
the 350 and 500 amps just like the feed-through capacitor I was
seeking earlier as there are many in the amplifier. So I am hoping it
is in other TMC devices as well.  Oh.....and thank you to Peter
Whittenberg for finding me the feed-through capacitor!

Also since I am new to the group and by definition late to the party,
this may be old info for most of you, but I stumbled on a youtube
video where John Poulton gives a fantastic presentation on the history
of TMC. If you haven't watched it yet, you should.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1h3-HQzIo00  I found it fascinating
and VERY informative. Well done! Thanks John!

Anyway, I hope there is someone out there who has one of these little
chokes so I can try and keep this guy "original". Thank goodness there
does appear to be a few 120uh choke options on Digikey if no one on
here can help me out, but I am hoping someone has one.

I know better than to try and post an image, but I figure if you know
what I am looking for you don't need an image:-). But on the off
chance you do need an image I will gladly snap a photo and send it to
your personal email.

Thanks again!

Best regards,

Chris
