!!!!!!IT'S ALIVE!!!!!!!
Well, rewinding that coil may have been the hardest thing so far. I had to do it 3 times, luckily there were only 18 winds. I tried to make it perfectly smooth (like the one I removed) but found out that the wax or whatever it is that was covering it made lots of small bumps and so the re-wind isn't as smooth. It's working though! Have it on right now. Only get's one station, but I'm hoping that's because I need to tune the thing again, and this time with a sig gen that actually works.
I'll try and post some pics tomorrow. Now need some sleep! Thanks for the help. I'm sure I'll Q's about tuning. Today is actually my dad's birthday, which is pretty awesome to think that this thing is working now. Thanks again.
Stay tuned for pics!
