Learned how to repair actual component faults in some cases, thus eliminating the need for replacement of otherwise salvageable parts. My experience with RF/IF and similar coils/transformers is pretty limited. Previous owner of this set did considerable damage to the transformer, far beyond my ability to salvage. I could remove the complete 95-2263 transformer assembly from my set and send it to someone who had successfully repaired other units once someone with the proper tools and experience to do "surgery" on one can be located.
Seems like it would be "challenging, but not impossible" for someone with very sharp eyes and very steady hands. Duane seems to be AK's foremost Zenith roundie expert so far. Perhaps he knows someone with advanced coil-winding tools or some NOS parts? Additionally, since 3.58 MHz is just slightly below the 80-meter Amateur band, perhaps a Ham operator with extensive design and construction experience specific to equipment for the 80-meter band could replicate the windings on new coil form stock and thus re-build faulty coils for the right price? I would be willing to pay a "rebuilding fee" to someone who could successfully rebuild my damaged 95-2263 transformer. As for how much, approximately equal to the list price quoted by those vendors whose Web sites list NOS of these parts that can't seem to actually be found to sell.
