Title: Choke Identification Needed
Post by: ashart on September 07, 2009, 09:56:53 PM
The choke depicted is in the final of a rig that I'm restoring.

Details can be seen on www.w8vr.org.

I'd appreciate learning the manufacturer of the choke, and any additional data, such as a part number, electrical specs, etc.

Tnx es 73 de al hart, w8vr.

Have you measured the inductance and DC resistance? Looks like a National R-152 or R-154 without the foot but I can probably give you ten other guesses too.

Looks like  a Hammond 1510.   http://www.hammondmfg.com/1500.htm
I would have to refer to my old Hammond catalogs for specs.

Al there's really no way to know for sure, absent a decal.

My guess would be a BUD radio part given the age of what you are working on. The hammond looks like a reasonable sub. Select a new one with buzzardly looks as close as possible and keep on going.
