Is this inductor worth salvaging?

[aballen]

I don't recognize this one... Is it junk?



I have a red fasel and a soul inductor... And now this one too.  Not sure which one to put in my weener.

That's just a stock baby inductor isn't it?

[jkokura]

I haven't seen it before. Looks awesome.

GBC-95 stock inductor , like 30 years old.  That was a crappy wah so I'm not using the inductor unless I can identify it as a good one.

20 years old

Got an inductance-o-meter?

I don't know about the inductor, but those acrylic jacks are pretty neat.

Like most inductors it'll probably sound Ok if you spend a little time tuning the wah to suit...

Or if you are gonna throw it out, send it to me instead

What about the jacks? I've never seen clear ones before. Not sure what i'd use them for but cool nonetheless.

If you don't want it, I'll happily take it off your hands

Yeah its the "Dunlop Toroidal Inductor" stock in some GCB-95s. I would be happy to buy it off you if you don't want it as I've been collecting inductors for a comparison test.

Would you mind taking some pictures of your wah that this is in? I mostly just want to know what the bottom plate looks like (as in what style of Jim Dunlop logo) and what Rev # is on the PCB.

this is around 91-93. clear jacks, small toroid ( later became n30 , etc). very early in the rev e board period.

probably a good sounding inductor. most likely 600 mh plus or minus 15%, 14 to 18 ohm.

this era dunlop wahs are actually quite good sounding, stock. hotpotz1 pot with glued on gear, probably.

update, i looked in my junk box, i found clear jacks as late as rev g , 94. dunlop seems to have dabbled in asian low cost board production at this point, with parts and board quality at a low that was later rectified.

I guess I'll pull it and try it in my weener.  Honestly I was never thrilled by that wah and I've pretty much butchered it now so if its worth using ill try it.

Thanks for the info
