Help: Broken Heath Toroids

[Keith Rowland]

Bob:

If the repair doesn't work, chances are you can get workable replacements from
Amidon Associates.  It's possible, or even likely, that they made the originals
for Heath.

Amidon Asssociates

North Hollywood, CA  91607

I have no phone number, web page or e-mail address for them (my catalog is pretty
old).  Ask for their nifty little catalog...it's chock full of information on how
to use ferrite to do all sorts of things, like designing your own coils, etc.

Good luck with your repair.

73,

Keith
