Hi, they are the "terry" caps as you said. the coil is 3 1/2 diam with 13
1/2 inches of #24 closewound. primary is 3 strands of bare #12 copper
twisted together and toroid is a 6 and 8 inch pairs of frypans with a brass
ashtray for spacer between toroids. the primary likes to run about 10 1/2
turns. i need more turns on the primary but for this short coil is enough.
