#24 Heathkit GD-1B grid dip repair and homebrew coils

In this video we have a look at an old Heathkit GD-1B. After a quick repair we test the unit and then build the missing coils that are needed to operate.

EDIT: Sorry but for some reason unknown I lost the footage of the repair.

Another great find.  Enjoyed the repair.

If you have problems making the formers for GDO coils then consider using used shotgun cartridges. They are just the right diameter for a use like this and that cap on the end won't come off.

As an extra bonus you can annoy TSA agents if your GDO is in your hand luggage
