Bill,
I saved that link just in case I ever destroy my jury rigged one. Thanks,
Fred
Before you put your coil back on the solenoid, would you take a length and diameter measurement of the shaft/hole so we can have some idea of the size of the coil? That would tell us whether some of these possible solenoid coils have a chance of working or not.
Oops. Already back on. No big deal getting it off again. First chance I get I'll pull it and post measurements.
