Lead Wire for single coils

[David Schwab]

I just got a used Stripall TWC-1 thermal wire stripper at a hamfest for $25. (They cost about $370 new.)

It does a very nice job on teflon wire, and I bet it will do nicely on cloth-covered wire as well. I think a lot of these strippers are coming up for small dollars as electronic assemblers go belly up.

By the way, the patent is US 3,143,635.

Looks nice! I'll have to keep an eye out for one of these.
