Those solenoids are still available in the parts stream that supplies
automotive remanufacturers. High quality rebuilders still use them, but
their prices are high. As that trade faces really stiff competition from
the Mass Marketers, you might see inferior parts slip in there once in a
while. The rebuilder that I use cusses every time I talk to him about
having to share the reputation that is applied to him unfairly by
association with Auto Zone type retailers that sell only on price point. I
collect known good cores, and when I have 6 or more, I take them to him. He
gives me a slightly better price when he can work them in assembly line
style, with no deadlines. Just what I do.

Bob, and other great tinkerers, would it be possible to replicate the

simple. Finding proper copper might be hard down here in rural lower
Alabama, but there is always the internet.
See you in Elkhart.
