Hi all: For those without ready access to parts and/or soldering irons, I was thinking of offering a kit, and so here I go! I can send you: > 125' of 18 gauge wire (mine uses about 109' for the coil, so this would be 2-3 turns too many, just in case) > a 10-530 pf mini variable capacitor with shaft/knob assembly > presoldered leads off of the capacitor with alligator clips > foam adhesive tape to affix the capacitor All you have to do is (1) wrap the wire over the crate, (2) clip the two ends of the wire to the leads on the capacitor, and (3) stick the capacitor to the crate and put the knob on with a little screwdriver. You might want to punch/drill a couple holes in the crate for the wire and/or capacitor shaft.
If anyone is interested, I can send it to you for $15 (cost of parts only) plus actual shipping charges (about $5 Priority mail in the US, or regular mail to Canada and a few other places). If the Crate costs $10, total project cost would be $30, a little less than a Terk Loop. As of tomorrow when UPS promises I will get some wire, I will have enough parts for four kits, but I could easily get more if there is interest. If interested, drop me a line off-board at satya(AT)sounddsl.com I have a PayPal account, or you could send me a US$ check. 73 - Kevin S Bainbridge Island, WA _______________________________________________ IRCA mailing list [email protected] http://montreal.kotalampi.com/mailman/listinfo/irca Opinions expressed in messages on this mailing list are those of the original contributors and do not necessarily reflect the opinion of the IRCA, its editors, publishing staff, or officers For more information: http://www.ircaonline.org To Post a message: [email protected]
