View of the search coil assembly.  Constructed of 6-ply plywood and paper laminate top and bottom.  I terminated the coil windings into a BNC connector and used RG-59 coax to get the signal up to the control box.

Inside view of the search coil housing showing the flat spiral-wound coil.  I sealed the windings with two coats of polystyrene.
