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

They'll have very low Q, and therefore not really be suitable for a
crystal radio, where low-Q coils fight your ability to get good
selectivity without burning up all your signal before it gets to the
headphones.

There's a whole bunch of _other_ cool things you can do with them, just
not Xtal sets.
