From the electrical point of view this is a bunch of hooey.....all these break-ins, be it cables, coils.....

Over time your bobbin could absorb moisture and stop being a good bobbin. But this is degradation and not a break in.

A well-made inductance will change a little if not at all over time. Inductance is dictated by geometry only. If you designed it so that your geometry is stable, so will be your inductor.
And even then......moisture is your main enemy. It is conductive and counters the inductance by the eddy currents appearing in the moisture mixed with chemicals.

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.

Absolutely no one is going to reverse engineer that circuit. Even the iron core is missing.RodB — 10:37 AM
