Description: 5 Pin Plug in Coil Form Now here's something you don't see everyday. 5 Pin Plug in Coil Forms from the olden days! Wind your own coils with this plug in coil form. Made from Grade XX Garolite (Phenolic). Equipped with rim, making it easy to insert and pull out. Coil measures 1-3/8" Diameter X 2-1/4"H. Exclusive of the pins. This is a standard size for radio coil forms. The coil form will plug into a standard 5 pin tube socket as shown in the photos. Tube Socket is not included. It is shown for identification purpose only. (We have the same sockets as shown in the photo. They will be listed shortly). This is the type of coil form used in all the early receivers and transmitters. I personally build these by hand, one at a time in a regular home workshop!! There is no fancy machine shop involved, no fancy CNC equipment used. Each piece is handcrafted from various pieces of Grade XX garolite (phenolic). They are very time consuming to build, but still lots of fun to make anyway. The pins are the exact same size pins used in the early coil forms of yesteryear. I have been building these for myself for years, but finally decided to build them in quantity and offer them to others. By no means am I getting rich on selling these. In addition to the intense labor, there is the cost of the garolite, the pins, and the special glue and of course, the Ebay fees. To use it, just wind the wire (usually magnet wire, which can be found in our listings) around the form, drill a small hole where you leave off and feed it through the center down to the pins. Then just solder the end of the hollow pins. To keep the wire from unraveling, apply some polyurethane or clear nail polish. The 5 pin form allows you to do single windings or multiple windings with a center tap. If you need just a single coil you use 2 pins, if you need it center tapped use three pins, etc. Now you can finally build some of the old radios you have seen in magazines and books but didn't because you didn't have the proper coil forms. 4 and 6 Pin Coil Form also available in my Ebay store. Look under coil forms. We are also selling the special coil form for the National Radio SW3 and SW5. See our Ebay store. You will love these coil forms. Listing is for one (1) piece. As in all my listings, I combine items to save you on shipping costs. Be sure to request an invoice if you are buying several coil forms so I can adjust shipping costs.
