I have a 15 year (its a transistor tipe) old radio but i listen to it wean i work.I scavegd some things from it but only the LED UV meter and the casete player, I had to let a eqolizer i pece becose it controles the volume. all rest is on one circuit bord(radio reciver,amplefier...),
For MW You need a coil on ferrite rod. What You actually have is a wawe-trap for cable mounting. (maybe from VGA, printer, or supply cable. This have very different permeability as ferrite rod, so unuseable for this purpose.
The air coil is phiscally too big for application, this is the reason of ferrite application.
Search the old MW pocket-radio and canibalize it, if cannot foud another source.
What is the capacitor that will tune the coil? What frequency are you trying to recieve? I can calculate an air core coil for you with that information.
OH! never mind, I looked at your link. The coil can be wound on a quaker oats box or corn meal box (3.85 inches diameter). 135 turns of #22 enameled wire should do it. The turns should be neatly wound close together. If the wires are spaced, it will tune higher in frequency. The wire size is not critical.
