I, personally, have not seen a Champion so I cannot say about them being the same, but I would almost bet they are.
Unfortunately I do not have my manual for the 500 but , as I recall, the output cap is 250 uuf. If that is what the Champion has, they are probably the same. In my manual, I measured the size of the form, the length and number of turns. The coil I have is the same as the phenol coils and could take a picture of it with my camera an email it to you. What I don't have is the number of turns for the 80 meter coil or the 160 meter coil. The wire on the 15, 20, 40 meter coil is about #16 or 14 and is wide spaced for the higher frequencies then closer wound for the 40 meter section. I hate to make these statements because I can't get to my information, but someone here can tell you. The 40/20/15 meter coil is 2 3/8 outside diameter and has 2 3/4 turns spaced at about 1/4 inch apart. Then it continues for an additional 3 turns for 20 meters. At that point the spacing of the wire drops to about 3/8 inch for an additional 10 turns. Each tap is arranged to face the bandswitch. The 80 meter and part of the 160 meter coil are the same diameter but very close wound with varnished wire, but I don't know how many turns for 80 meters. Then part of the 160 meter coil is on another form below the chassis. Since I am not familiar with the Champion series, I don't know if that applies to it. If you want the picture, let me know. 73 Jim de W5JO ----- Original Message ----- From: "RJ Mattson" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[email protected]>; "WRL Mailing list" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Monday, February 23, 2004 6:16 PM Subject: Re: [AMRadio] Globe King tank coils > Are the "Globe Champion 300" tank coils the same as the GK500? > I bought my Champion off of a CB'er who modified it for 11 meters and > removed and discarded the tapped tank coils. > If they are the same, I can replicate the coils. > Help! > bob...w2ami > www.qrz.com/callsign/w2ami > > > ----- Original Message ----- > From: "Tommye & Jim Wilhite" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > To: "AM Radio Discussion List" <[email protected]>; "WRL Mailing list" > <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > Sent: Monday, February 23, 2004 12:28 PM > Subject: [AMRadio] Globe King tank coils > > > > A couple of weeks ago I saw an ad for a part of the tank coil for a Globe > > King 500.
