Thankies

Did you rebuild the damaged one or just start from scratch?


Rebuild? Hah!

I made a few assumptions about the actual size of the back panel,
did a layout in AutoCAD and made a new piece out of 1/8" hard-
board. Then wound a new coil by hand using #32 Kynar covered wire
wrap wire.

I've found that it fairly well approximates the silk covered
enameled wire as far as turn to turn capacitance. The tricky part
was getting it to lay flat and spot gluing it in place for 21 turns.
