Boy Tony I wish I could find the rest of them, if in fact, they were ceramic as well. Didn't you have trouble with the tank circuit in one of your some time back?
I am always leery of loading mine into anything until I know the circuit is good. It won't take much heat to ruin those coils. I had a bit of reflected power on 160 before and I can tell the 160 meter portion got hot. Not enough to ruin it, but the wire and form is discolored a bit. The ceramic form would alleviate some of that. I took our furniture and pictures to the southern climes last week. All moving is done except what we need for this temporary apartment. Only 5 more weeks. 73 Jim de W5JO > > <wondering if anyone else has ever seen a GK 500 tank > coil on a ceramic form?> > <snip> > > > Jim, I have as you know a 1959 model GK-500c which belonged to Ella > Koons from El Campo.
