Back at work on the Gloritone. The antenna secondary coil is open. Not 100 percent sure it is the secondary. Based on what Buzz1151 said about his antenna coil I'm going with the secondary. His coil looks like mine viewing the wires inside the coil form. Notice in the picture AntCoilSplice it looks like two turns have been cut right next to the heavy white wire that makes one turn around the core. I'm wondering if they should be connected to the heavy white wire. Notice in the AntCoilTop picture the white wire at the right is not connected to anything but just tied off. Also notice just o the left we see the same heavy white wire. That connects to a terminal at the other end of the core. Notice in the AntCoilBottom picture we see the heavy white wire on the right terminal as well as a dark wire. The dark wire connects to the coil inside of the tube. Also notice the terminal on the left has a copper and smaller white wire. The smaller white wire connects to the inside coil. The copper wire connects to the outer coil. I am pretty sure this is factory based on how neat it is. I can't tell if Buzz1151 coil has this splice as he does not show or comment on it. It appears to me as if the two coils are wired in parallel but that can be. I'm really lost here. Any ideas?
