[SEL] Low Tension Coils

[Charles R Bryant]

Thanks  Ron. I will get in contact with my friend. He is out of town
so it might be a few days. He started making coils about 6 years
ago and makes about 60 a year. He does a real good job. I don't think
he has ever had a single coil returned. We picked up a sewing machine motor
for winding.

Charlie
