It is all a moot point now Max because the PT coil is too thick and the edges are square compared to the domed early coils. This puts the whole idea in the bin
Thanks for testing these coils and for the information, Norm. I have contacted numerous auto electricians and coil companies about the possibility of rewiring old Victa coils and only one was interested. One company says on their website that they can rewire coils and make custom coils, but after contacting them I got this in reply: "Sorry, we do not have this coil." Well of course not. Their answer had nothing to do with the question I asked. There are lots of big glossy websites out there making huge statements, but you contact them and they can't actually do any of the things that they claim they can do. I find this all the time. Our nearest city once had a company that had a great reputation for their ability to quickly and cheaply rewire coils of any kind. I contacted that same company recently and the person on the phone asked what I meant by "rewire a coil?". It was very clear he had never heard of such a thing. I guess this is just a sign of our throwaway mentality, which may in fact be rapidly coming to an end as a result of scarcity of resources and unstable supplies of stock parts. People may once again resort to repairing things rather than simply throwing them to the bin and buying a new one. I live in hope.
