WTB AM Ferrite Rod 3/8 Dia X 4"or Longer

You can't come up with an old portable AM radio to scrap it from? Go to Goodwill or Salvation Army or a yard sale, it will be less than anyone could ship it to you. Or order it from WWW.Bytemark. Mike

"Without" - but a good range of options.

I went to 'CWS ByteMark Front Page'

I just purchased a few junker radios from ebay and saved a lot.

I do appreciate you trying to help.

And used radios if old enough will offer up a variable capacitor which is often required if one needs a loopstick.

There was a time when I'd find lowe end stereos on the sidewalk waiting for the garbage, and that too was a good source of loopsticks, often hanging outside the case. But that seems to have dried up, either people have finished tossing them, or they go to "electronic waste recycling".

Any portable set old enough to have a 3/8" ferrite rod could have some value as a collectible. Some of the shirt pocket transistor radios with the little ferrite slab are even more valuable.

The all in one pre-micro music centers usually have a proper ferrite rod, as do most separates tuner units.

They have almost no resale value, except high end separates.

Could be worth researching collectibles values before ripping.

Some might be worth refurbishing.
