Wow - you wound it by hand?! [Image: http://philcoradio.com/phorum/images/smi...on_eek.gif]
Now that's dedication!
Nah just want to see if anyone is awake. Used a drill.
Mine ended up at 1562 ohms. Need to make a spacer to lift the coil up just a little hair so I can insulate the wire loop terminals.
Found a sm with a good coil but was low in resistance abt 900 ohms. Tried it and couldn't get much movement only about 1/8". Check current and swung from 10ma weak signal to 4.5ma strong signal. Maybe it has some shorted turns. Has the long skinny coil so I'm thinking it would be a little more tricky to wind, has a flat core/ bobbin.

When my pals were reading comic books
I was down in the basement in my dad's
workshop. Perusing his Sam's Photofoacts
Vol 1-50 admiring the old set and trying to
figure out what all those squiggly meant.

Now I think I've got!
