1. A tunable air core inductor coil for mounting on a printed circuit board comprising a first helical coil section having a cylindrical form, a second helical coil section having a cylindrical form and positioned around and radially spaced from the first coil section, said coil sections being electrically connected at one adjacent end of the sections, a terminal extending from the other end of each of the coil sections with said terminals being substantially parallel to the longitudinal axis of the coil sections, each of said coil section being wound continuously in the same direction from one terminal to the other terminal, the two coil sections, the electrical connection therebetween, and the terminals being of a single, continuous length of solid wire of constant diameter and low resistance which is supported only by its own rigidity, whereby the coil can be turned by adjusting its length by means of expanding or compressing the coil without changing the spacing between the terminals of the coil.
