Make, model, and photograph?

Is there a copper D-ring on the top end of the solenoid?

If the coil it dead, try disolving the epoxy.

It will also make a useful coil form.

If you know the core dimensions and the wire guage, you can estimate
the number of turns.

The reason I'm curious is that ASCO seems to think that
the replacement coil for this is worth $585, although
they will sell it as the "sale price" of only $421.80.


Check eBay?
