RK05 door latch solenoid needed

[mcguire]

Hi folks, I'm working on an RK05 that has a door latch solenoid with an open coil. Would anyone happen to have one that they can spare?

Thanks,

You could rewind the coil yourself or find a place locally which does this as a business.
I have 14 businesses in driving distance who provide this service.
Search for "transformer rewinding" or "motor rewinding".
To make it easier to rewind it yourself you could use something like this:

Hi Tom, thank you for the suggestion. We do have such a business nearby, and while we'd be up for going that route, this unit is press-fit together and I think it would be pretty tough to disassemble to get at the coil. According to the docs, earlier revisions of this assembly were screwed together, but not this one.

Of course there's nothing to lose at this point..

Hi Dave, I am curious if you managed to get the solenoid coil rewound or if you found a replacement?

Hi Tom, we've found no reasonable way to open this solenoid to get at the coil in a non-destructive way. John Chapman has a badly trashed RK05 and has expressed a willingness to harvest its solenoid for us.
