Sounds good Gary I'll do that. I have plenty of stuff like that I can scrounge up. I am still kind of new to all this so I'm not sure what alternative materials are good options.

I will say that original cellulose stuff has gotten so brittle I was easily breaking chunks off. I noticed where it had turned brown it was brittle and the wire was corroded.

I have a bunch of solenoids around that I'll never use so maybe some of them may have 44 awg wire I can use.

You can probably save it using coils on the wire leads. Try unwinding a tad off each end of the rf coil.RodB — 09:47 PM
