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

I got beat up on my last reply offering comments....but, whatever.

The small slug tuned HF coils in cans really have no place in crystal
radio circuits. However, the long ferrite rod loopstick coils are quite
good and are popular.

I'll offer an invitation to http://theradioboard.com/rb/ if you
aren't familiar with the site. You should be able to scrounge up some
additonal suggestions there.
