    Picture above are not of the guitar and board
    With the inductor / Coil missing. im going to be able to get one built by my transformer maker. I have spec of the coil.
    does anyone have an any idea's or have tried this before.
    This customer does not want to use effects pedals or does he want to sell this guitar and buy one with a working tremolo

    any help would be grateful

    Just some info

    I decided to take a look this afternoon
    Tried a couple of small coils nothing. Using the primary of a valve amp power tx ( 44ohm ) i got some tremolo and i also tried a choke from a valve amp (234 ohm) that was better
    an quick read on the net found a post with somebody saying there coil is 680ohm

    My question to you guitar repairs is If i get a transformer maker to make me a coil with 680ohm is that enough or do we have to take info account other values like henries ?
