?  amen.

?   How could we possiblly know this if the dimension of the ribbon was 
not given?   The tank circulating-current in an 8877 amplifier can easily 
be 13A-rms.   E>F. Johnson rated their 12.7mm/0.5"  ribbon inductors 
(222-series) at 15A.

?   I used such an inductor in my 8171 amplifier.  I shorted the unused 
turns with 5/8" strap.  There was no arcing at the inductor.  However, 
there was initially an, intermittent  vhf parasite.  The cure was to use 
a lower vhf-Q anode parasitic-suppressor.

?  Are you thinking about the mfg. that uses Delrin for coil forms in 
roller coils.?

?  Surplus Sales sells the 5.uH Collins 180t roller-L for $35.  Fair 
Radio sells the same item for $10.
