TTop turns per layer....

[Possum]

Have to rewind an already naked bobbin, has anyone counted turns per layer on these, I used to know but forgot....

I thought your winder didnt have a traverse? Did you add one? Aren't you using the same hand winding maxwell machine that seymour uses?

[Possum]

....

I've had my own auto winder for years, the winder part of it is the Adams Maxwell, the traverse is my own design thats run from a cheap PC. They are not linked together, which for me, is ideal. I wind all my pickups on it. Its real low tech, cost about $100 to build, parts are all off the shelf or surplus, the only way to go in my opinion...

I'd love to see a picture of it, do you have a digital camera?

Just out of frame a Chinese abacus in case the two calculators bite the dust. Dave takes "old school" to the extreme.

There is also a fire extinguisher out of frame in case a brush fire threatens the old timber frame winder.

I'm poking fun. If it does the job that is what matters. I know Dave added some CNC stuff to replace the servos. I would like to see a photo of that.

No way Possum is using a CHINESE Abacus!

Only good old AMERICAN Abacus for him! (PAF Vintage specs, naturally)

I had Heritage Guitars build me a real Gibson Abacus since Gibson makes them wrong and charges $6,000 for their "Historic" version.

Sorry no photos, its too good......

Was that a slug coil abacus?

I guess I have a timber frame winder also. Vintage Gibson made though.

OK, I've decided to relent and show you my coil winding setup, enjoy....

Did the TPL change over the years?
