Wild guesses are allowed if they are identified as such. Mine was.
Are you sure the early production - the one I had - used #10? Perhaps
it was changed to #10 in later production based on (bad) experience?
As you pointed out, other changes *were* made. I distinctly remember
B&W coil stock and it seems to me #10 wire of sufficient turns and
properly spaced for 160 meters would have been a pretty large coil,
and this one wasn't.
I only ask because it seems that #10 might have held up, but this one
surely did not.

p.s. I said 12 OR 14. Please quote accurately.
