On the SSB board the toroid cores for RFC1 and RFC2 have very sharp edges...It is almost impossible to wind them without shaving the enamel off the wire on these sharp edges...I built several early production SSB's in which RFC1 and RFC2 were mounted flat against the bottom of the board, in fact, the silk screening for them still exists there on the bottom of the latest boards...I don't remember reading anything about why they were moved to the top, but there must have been a reason...?...
