    Anyone have a junk Globe Scout? All I need is a final tank coil.

    Thanks.

    The manual says:

    "The oscillator and final coils may also be wound by the builder as follows: Oscillator coil, L2 - 72 turns of #28 enameled wire closewound on 1" form
    with taps at 45 turns and 61 turns. The final coil, L3, has 82 turns of #22 enameled wire on 1" form with the first 60 turns closewound, tapped at 30th
    and 60th turn. Then wind 14 turns on 3/4" space with tap at 14th turn,
    then 4 turns on 3/8" space with tap at 4th turn, then another 4 turns on
    3/8" space."

    So...
    Get yourself some #22 wire from an old motor or transformer and a 1" dowel
    from the hardware store. Wrap a little brown paper from a grocery bag
    over the dowel. Put two windings over the paper, being sure to bare off
    spots for taps, Varnish with Q-dope (or dissolve styrofoam cups in
    toluene and use that mixture) and you soon will be 5-9 on all bands.
