Odd coil ID

Post by Rayboy » Wed Dec 16, 2020 3:16 pm

I found this odd coil. I’m not an expert but thought I would post some pics and hopefully someone can tell me about this coil. The core is made of flat pieces of steel instead of the usual wire core. The capacitor is tubular and is set at an angle. Any ideas?

Appears to be a repro KW from the 50's.

While the one shown is one of the newer made ones, I just redid one with the flat plates, old style long condenser and was stamped Ford in script on the one side.
I know the voices aren't real but damn they have some good ideas! :shock:
