PURPOSE: To facilitate the processing for a short lead wire by immersing each side of a lead wire into a solder plating tank by turning and revolving a needle which receives a coil, in a transport apparatus for a air-core coil for tube of a TV receiving apparatus.

CONSTITUTION: A coil 2 is engaged with the hooks 42 and 42 of a delivery apparatus 41, and raised by a cylinder 45, and a tongue piece 25 is compulsorily delivered to a spread-out needle 11 by a cylinder 47. Then, the cylinder 47 is retreated, and the coil 2 is fixed onto the needle 11 by the tongue piece 25. During the transfer to a soldering tank, a holding part 8 is turned-down by a roller 14 and a sliable rod 12, and the needle 11 is turned to direct one lead wire downward. Then, one side of the lead wire is immersed into the soldering tank to apply solder plating, and then turned by 180°, and the other lead wire is applied with solder plating. Then, the coil is sent into a discharge part through an inspection part. With such constitution, a short lead wire can be easily solder-plated.
