I'm new to theremins. my dads friend gave me plans to build a transistor theremin (he's had the theremin since the 60's but did not build it). I got all the parts except for the tuning capacitor and the variable inductors at radio shack. Now here's the problem: Every electonics parts place I call tell me the numbers on the var. coils are not proper parts numbers but "house numbers"(?). They need to know the inductance and what frequency the coils operate at. My question is: how do I find out what frequency the coils operate at? His original theramin still works...Does anyone know how to test the coils to find the frequency?
Please help. I really want to build this theramin!
Thanks in advance for the help.
