About time to drop these clowns and wind our own toroids with real cores.  Careful with all of those cores.  Probably full of lead and cadmium left over from toys and such. 

Is there a way to run the boards with all the parts except the coils and still test them for functionality?  Perhaps a zero ohm (or so) SM resistor where the coils are to be, an added pad in parallel to be removed when installing the coils.  We could also probably add the BNCs on our own.

MicroMetals cores have always been close for me and with our using HP or LP filters the roll off frequencies shouldn't be too critical, although those of us with L testing ability will probably want to tweak turns/spacing a bit.

Just so we get some easy strip wire.
