I have a really big coil on an 18" x 4" phenolic
tube with several .01 2500 WVDC caps that I believe
had been used for some sort of tower shunt feed.
It is marked part number 994-3936-001
The wire is coated with something white and appears
to be enameled and may be #12 or so. The wire turns
appear to be several layers.
Ever seen such a beast?
