These
are materials that I used for coils in TX500. If
you don't have required magnet wires I suggest you
buy them from Radio Shack. They have a great deal
of three spool magnet wires (first picture above)
for only $4.69 comparing to mouser.com that offers
1/2lb of a single choice for as much as $18. The
package in Radio Shack includes 14 meters of 22AWG
(.065mm) wire, 25 meters of 26AWG (0.4mm) wire and
65 meters of 30AWG (0.25mm) wire. Second picture
shows a miniature ferrite beads that I found in
my junk box. If you don't have any of these and
can't find them you may also use many other types
which I will try to post soon. Radio Shack also
sells a package of 30 mixed chokes and coils for
very low price. There are two small components that
may replace the use of four small beads that you
will need. In other words one such component looks
and does exactly the same job as two ferrite beads
connected together as on a picture below. If you
can't get any ferrite beads you may replace L4,
and L7 (4 beads) with a regular air coils. I will
post more information about that soon.
The above pictures show all finished
coils that I used in TX500.
They are very easy to make and there are always
many alternatives in you can't find any needed part.
