I've seen people build up modules in old IF transformer, though now that
source has mostly dried up.

As have the capacitors from the defunct rig that provided them? :-)


Well I was thinking of the time when there'd be endless IF transformers at
the hamfests and the like, I remember buying a bunch of them for nothing
much in the seventies.

But now that you mention it, you could take those metal-cased eletrolytics
that have dried up, and build modules in them. I know I have a bunch of
thsoe around, and chances are good they aren't in good shape now.
