Philco 60 restoration
#15

I took the coil to work where I have a good lamp with a magnifying glass, and, first, removed the coil I wound yesterday, then removed the remnants of the celluloid insulator, then I wrapped it around with Kapton tape, than wound 17 turns of the 34 gauge wire (the only one I have), then wrapped it with Kapton again.

The resistance came out as 1.5 Ohm vs 3.4 Ohm that is the original value, but then the wire is thicker; probably, it was 38 gauge wire that was used.

I hope I have no other open coils. Really. I hate winding coils, especially when I cannot reliably count turns because wire is fragmented so badly it has 4-5 pieces per turn.

People who do not drink, do not smoke, do not eat red meat will one day feel really stupid lying there and dying from nothing.
