Re: Re: LF: Loading coil - suggestions

Chris, et al,

After reading Jim's post, some memories came back. The old-timer I first worked for in broadcasting made a few coils while I was there. He kept a supply of very old, very dry maple wood to use in the forms. I seem to recall that he would cut up all of the pieces, and boil them in beeswax for a period of time before assembling and winding the coil. 

I also remember that he varnished some of the coils, but don't recall asking 
about how the varnish and wax got along with each other.
