I'm curious! What is the difference from the original coil as opposed to the one I'm thinking about. I see the physical differences such as structure. I removed the iron core which was falling apart anyway. I did notice the wire when spun on it's core looks braided as opposed to what a sewing machine type bobber which goes back and forth or side to side for even coverage. The original has a wooden core where the other has a paper one. Neither of the windings are physically touching except the base on which they were spun.
You guys are obviously the experts and I am the lowly student, so to speak. Some things make sense but this one kind of quirky.
Even after all this I have this bad feeling it's still not going to work.
