Well I received my Atwater Kent parts chassis, model 37. It has the brass pulleys and belts that I needed for my model 35. I would like to transfer the tuning caps from the parts chassis to my set as my originals are rusty and on the parts chassis they are like new. They will fit physically however, my model 35 has 6 fins on the rotors, the parts set has 8. The corresponding RF coils that they resonate with are physically the same length and diameter between both sets. What’s strange is all RF coils on my model 35 are close to each other in uh. The parts set RF coils measure similarly to the model 35 except the #3 coil is a good 20uh more! The tuning capacitors on the parts set are about 100pf more which makes sense as there are 2 more sections of fins. So, my dilemma is should I just swap out the tuning caps and keep the RF coils that are on my model 35. Should I swap both the tuning caps and RF coils that go with them from the parts set? Makes no sense to me that both sets have the same RF coils for the left and center stages while the tuning caps are about 100pf more! The right hand stage has a RF coil about 20uh more on the parts set!
