HUZ, I was at our lightning Contractor test house and saw a cool coil made from 1/4 inch. They used large chrimp lugs as taps. The small hole size was just right for a banana plug and the bolt side of the lug was wrapped around the coil and soldered.
W1GUC (SK) told me once that a real QRO tank tap is never soldered, it is bolted. He turned me on to my first model 85 band switch. He told me solder will melt and you would lose the connection.

Banana plug. That would be FB!

Yup, I thought it was a cool idea. Just plug the banana plug in to make the tap connection. The lugs were bent so a banana plug would go all the way into the back of the lug. A tuner would require 2 of them and maybe a couple more to switch between shunt and series mode.
