Hi Ken,
I am forwarding the email from Alan Douglas with his measurements of the original 59LF coils, along with a picture he sent.
I also attached the final configuration of my coils. My main coil values came out very close to Alan's measurements, but I ended up putting the coils together, with the trim caps before measuring the final values of all the coils.
Regards,
-Joe

Hi Joe,

Thanks for sharing the excellent photos. If you could provide a table of the inductance values, I think that the photos plus the values might make a nice addition to the 59LF collection.

Thanks again,
