It seems like sources for audio inductors have come and gone over the years. Some were readily available from Digikey / Mouser, some people were doing custom winds in Europe and elsewhere, etc... Personally, I have pulled inductors out of other equipment such as $10 consumer stereo graphic EQs.
The main reason I'm asking is because I ended up with a couple of Auditronics "Son of Grand" channel strips from a friend who has the full console and they are in various degrees of functionality and are missing several inductors for the EQ section. The values for this revision are 1.2 hy, 400 mh, 100mh, and 25 mh. Values for earlier revision of the same channel strip are 1.2 hy, 400 mh, 75 mh, and 20 mh. I actually just read through a pretty detailed old thread from 2005 here on the forum of people discussing the inductor EQ on this board.
I know a lot of people say to just get into winding your own, which is something I am obviously interested in but really don't have the time to figure out setting up a rig for that and figuring out where to source cores and what types of cores (unless it is easier than I think it is?). I know CAPI sells a couple of values but they are pretty expensive and aren't the values I need anyway.
