I dunno, but I'm SURE gonna look into it. Yeah, thanks to the other
bloak who also mentioned the HEI internal coils, cuz that got me
wondering JUST the very same thing you're now bringing up, namely, "hmm,
what about the EXTERNAL HEI coils, then".

I have a copy of that choice lil morsel saved in my private stash, thank
you, but I don't find any DI coil list in there anywhere. Could you hum
a few more bars?
