tons of AirDux styles (such as the DX-40), and
also fiberglas and ceramic tanks from later
Heathkits. I picked up a PA tank (ceramic form)
for a TX project I'm planning. Often the PA
tank switch is included, along with the standoff
insulators. Worth a shot if nothing pans out here.

Hey OM

I don't know about that, I bought an airdux coil off of ebay came
with the catalog spec sheet for airdux coils
The guy listed it as a 100 watt rated coil turned out to be a 1000
watt coil verified by the spec sheet that came with it Although I'll
say this nobody else bid on it. And sometimes they use other ebayers
pictures and tell you yup what you see is what you get. And the
picture isn't a picture of the item.

Personally I would roll my own. The trick that not to many people know
about epoxy is: heat it up first in a microwave oven, so hot that you
can't touch it. Then mix it.
I roll up a newspaper, in my case junk mail advertizing flyers, for
the coil form, you can get any diameter you want this way.

Good luck and 73 OM
