thanks for the great tuning idea I have all the parts in my scrap boxes. it was hard to tell if both ends of the coil was grounded at first but i'll asume they are..and kinda makes sence anyway

Thanks agian, billiam9090

I love the idea of turning trash into treasure. Thanks for sharing this video. Really inspiring. I wish you and Dave would have shown the tuner in operation to prove it works.

love homebrew.

if you didn't have a multipole switch available, i suppose you could use a bank of toggle switches with the cold terminals ganged together and then connect the hot terminals to the tap points on your coil.

would look kinda cool i think.

MFJ tuners make good "parts supplys" too BTW! Thats all they are good for.
