From the article it appears they are using 12 gauge wire with 18 gauge solid insulated wire interwound. It wouldn't matter that the 12 gauge is bare wire, stripped from a scrap of house wiring, since the 18 gauge hookup wire has its plastic insulation.

The easiest converter, WORKS good!!

The easiest converter works awesome on my philco prewar set. It helps if the set is sensitive w/ good volume since circuit is passive. MY westinhouse postwar early FM has a similair type circuit for it's FM part.Showing two specially wound air coils, along w/ 2 pairs of copper plates for tuning cap especially for FM use.

I've seen rare prewar to postwar converter selling for big bucks. I would rather make this --- and save sevral hundred dollars.
