Hi All,

I have a plug-in BFO unit, which is U/S, fitted in a Coastal Radio 91/MX marine receiver. The 91/MX IF is 470kHz and the single coil was made by Wearite, but unfortunately the type markings are too faded to read. I suspect the coil is O/C but need to lift some of the connections to do a proper continuity test.

However I have not been able to find any info online for a Wearite coil for a BFO application, so I was wondering if anyone had a catalogue or data sheet with more info, probably from the late 40s/early 50s era?

Thanks,

Roger
