First attempt at rewinding an oscillator coil (Phil 38-12)
#7

exray Wrote:Well, plug it in and let 'er rip. If it doesn't appear to work DON'T go adjusting anything else just yet. Use the 'second radio' trick to see if you can find the oscillator signal on some oddball frequency. It (the oscillator) may be working but too far off frequency to make the radio play. If you can find the signal then you can determine whether you need more or less turns. If you start tweaking anything else you'll have too many variables in the mix.
*********************Not sure what you mean by the second radio trick. Thanks.
