Man, you do have tenacity, to work a novice through all that. Great job!
Not much on AM in the UK? Not sure about Puerto Rico, but here I think we have three "music of your life" type oldies stations on AM, so it works out pretty well for listening.
On this one, for me the main issue was not one of doing the winding, but getting the right info together, and that's where this forum really helped.
Finding mylar/polyester tape retail was a hassle, too. Couldn't find it anywhere retail -- probably would have to go to Mouser or Newark. Weird, too, in that I work for 3M, and they have a whole commercial line of mylar tapes, but I still couldn't find any. I ended up using some old 3M varnished cambric tape that I found in my tape bin, should be fine.
