diy IF transformers: first attempt.

Hi Folks, why not go to the PCC84 as used in TV, it was a good reliable valve and seems to have had less problems than the ECC85, which got a bit of a bad name.
You could also go further and look at the UHF tuner valves PC86/88/97/900. Slightly odd heater voltages and only single valves but most electrodes are double pinned on the base for low inductance.
Also plenty around and really cheap
