I.F. Transformer rewind help.
#5

This method works well if the winding is just one layer. Typically the coils inside an IF transformer are multi layer and would be difficult to ascertain the number of turns. Good for rf and oscillator coils if there not too low in frequency.

I was down in the basement in my dad's
workshop. Perusing his Sam's Photofoacts
Vol 1-50 admiring the old set and trying to
figure out what all those squiggly meant.

Now I think I've got!
