Bring back my compadre

[IowaRelic]

I bought a new compadre in late 2018 and the coil died in early 2019. It’s been boxed up to be sent to Tesoro but with the way they were at the time I never shipped it.
it has the 8” brown doughnut coil. Would I be best off to get another 8” and solder it on? As to not affect the preset ground balance? I kinda want to bring it back and use it again. It’s got a great fun factor. I found a lot of cool stuff with it in the short time it was working. Beautiful audio.

That would be best to do if you know its just the coil...Well worth it..

Yes it’s the coil. It will false badly when flexing the mounting ears. I think I broke it internally while trying to get that absolute bear of a coil cover off for cleaning.

Right....sounds like a plan...
