Rewinds - Safe Proper Gutting of Rewind candidates

[Zhangliqun]

I'm looking at discouraging folks from sending me rewind jobs because I obviously have no control over the materials (and thus sound), but I still have a few in front of me so I've gotta deal with it.

Not really sure how the chisel thing works. What angle do you attack the coil with it, on the end, on the sides? Do you just press straight down with it? Yes, I am a meathead, make it plain for the doofus...

When you're honestly trying to grasp a concept, there is no dumb question.

Im sorry I didnt have time to color this or to make it to scale.

I took a old tiny screwdriver, that I never used anyway, and made that sharp.

Thanks, bel-meister...

I used it twice today (on the same damn bobbin) and I'm loving it. Thanks!
