  • Help making 18" DD coil for goldmaster

    I found this forum after searching around a little. I would like to try to make a 18" DD coil for a whites goldmaster 4b, Where Do I Start??? I can come up with a jig to wind the wire on a drill cress or lathe, How do I determine the size of wire and number of wraps? I was thinking of mounting the coils to a fiberglass plate then making a cover that just goes over the wires. The 4b is a 50 Herts detector and mine does not have a dd coil already.

    You need the inductances for the TX & RX coils, measured from the stock GM4 coil. Then wind the DD coils to roughly match. Probably 24-28 AWG on the TX, 30-34 AWG on the RX will do.

      Bump!

      Hows anyone going with making coils for the GMT?

        I will be building a few coils for my whites gmt "48khz". I have a faulty coil (belive that the ground shield wire has come loose "falses")
        I will be tearing it a part to measure the caps, resistors and coil inductance s. I will put up pics of this and the build. The coil is a DD.

          I am new to building. I also need to make some DD coils for my GM II. Help please?

          Thanks

            whites goldmaster coils

            You will need an lcr meter to measure the original coil's inductance and capacitance.
            Until I can get my stuff up, here search this forum for the subject matter. There are many sound descriptions of the process. Look for building coils in general.

            This will help you prepare for building your coil.
