Was just wandering if anyone has used or experimented with television
IF, Video and Detector coils, most are slug tuned coils that have a
few uh to several hundred uh, some are sheilded some are not, i have
about 500 that i bought years ago, a lot of them look very close too
the old loopstick type coils, looking for
ideas.
Thanks David


Wonder if an adjustable coil loopstick and variable capacitor
preselector between the antenna and the crystal set would improve
reception for distant stations on the broadcast and high frequency
bands? David
