Thanks for the link. I can get some old style attys on this side of the pond but it would be cheaper getting just the assemblies... problem is that it seems that nobody in the world besides that store carries them. Oh well, will have to keep trying. I sent an email to the store, maybe they'll be nice and send it to me anyway... don't know. Some stores are quite helpful sometimes, other gernerally arn't. Lets see how it goes.
About the coil rebuild... its pretty easy as long as you work slowly and carefully. One thing that seems quite important and is overlooked on most tutorials is that you need to snip off the excess of the coil legs very very close to the base and pin. Even if you cut it that way, there is a risk than when you screw the finished atty on the battery, the pin will start to rotate (which is normal) but if the cut leg is a izzy tiny too long, it will hold on the pin and rotate also... so basically you will twist the coil alignment without knowing varing the resistance, and in worst case scenario, short the thing... so solve the problem, you need to remove the pin again, cut the wire a little more and slowly insert the pin again... problem solved.
Best Regards
Tony
