RE: [TCML] Kinraide Coil Reproduction - Near Completion. Near exhausted.

[Jeff Behary <electrotherapy@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Doc - 
If you mean the coil forms, they are actually machined in spirit from the finest genuine imitation-hard rubber.  
...Okay, I actually cast them out of Bondo and painted them black, and resined over them to make them shiny.

If anyone has an old Bowling ball, made of Ebonite or Vulcanite, no longer needed, if you send it my way I will machine proper hard rubber coil forms!  It would be a dream to actually to do this, in the same way that getting silk covered wire to use was a dream to wind with.  But I don't know where to get them in South Florida.  It'll be a real interesting task to turn them on the lathe, but I am sure willing to have a go!
