You can plainly see the wires are different sizes....
The wire measured 1.79 ohms per foot as 42 gauge would.
The ...

Sorry, but RIC has never used anything but 44AWG wire.
Sorry you are wrong...it was 42. I know how to measure winding wire to determine the gauge...I've only been doing this for 18 years.

And the correct term is DC resistance, not "output."
I know......

You are correct that the interleaved ...

Yes, it was wound with Min-Nom 42 polynylon....definitely a departure from the standard 44. Unfortunately, I have already shipped it back to the customer and I didn't take the inductance or capacitance readings.
I'm being crushed by rewinds at the moment and I'm trying to keep my 5 day turn time in ...

I just had another one of these in for rewind. The Low Z circuit is an initial winding of .375k on each coil with 42 gauge wire for a total output of .75k. Then a second winding of 42 gauge is added to 3.75k for the regular circuit of 7.5k. The coils are in series. What you wind up with is two ...
