I've tried steel wool, but it can't get to the interior of the coil, and regular sandpaper is going to eat the wire up. Assuming you want to avoid an aggressive chemical attack, methinks you're on the right track. Instead of steel wool, emery cloth, or sandpaper, use a damp cloth and some abrasive kitchen cleanser (Comet). Wrap the small cloth between two of the turns (using a tweezer to pull it through), apply some cleanser, and alternately pull on the ends back and forth. Kinda like shoe polishing. The cleanser should remove any grease and grind off any oxidation without removing the wire plating. When done, wash with water and let dry before soldering. -- Jeff Liebermann 150 Felker St #D http://www.LearnByDestroying.com Santa Cruz CA 95060 http://802.11junk.com Skype: JeffLiebermann AE6KS 831-336-2558 |
