Next Project - 37-116
#14

Thanks for the reply on the spray system. On my 37-116 I had to rewind the band #2 oscillator coil also. Took me 3 tries, ugh, but finally got it working. It’s still not right because I think the inductance is probably off. When I did an alignment, I can get the low end and the high end pretty decent with the associated trimmers, but sensitivity falls way off in the middle of the band. I don’t think the oscillator is tracking properly. This was the first coil I ever tried to rewind. Since there isn’t much on this band anyway, I’m leaving well enough alone. Not trying a fourth time. I didn’t dismantle my tuner as much as yours, so to get at those hard to reach caps, I made a long replacement tip for my soldering gun out of 12 gauge house wire. I saw that tip on the phorum years ago. It was a real pita to get in there but doable. Good  luck with yours, looking great so far!
