  • looking for Alnico 8 rods

    Does anyone have Alnico 8 rods in either .187, or .196 (5mm). I looking for about a dozen for tests before I pull the trigger. Will gladly pay cost+ and shipping as well or swap for parts.

    I have some I got a while back from DRH. There might be a dozen. For some reason I never got around to trying them. If you get more I might go in with you. I have every intention of using some eventually.

      DRH?

      Would you mind loaning them to me or selling them to me? If they are no good in the pup I make i'll cut them apart and return them to you. If they sound great i'll go in with you for a batch. I'll pm my address to you again and send me a paypal address and i'll send the payment and shipping fees.

            I got some A6 rods a while back from Magnetic Hold. Haven't tried them yet, but may be interested in going in on an A8 rod order, depending on the minimum.

              I'd love try some of your A6, I can trade you A3 and A4 in .188 x .850".

                  It's funny that there seems to be so much Alnico 8 love these days.
                  I started doing them in 1998. At the time, there were only two people doing them that I know of. Myself, and Lynn Collins.
                  Nobody had any love for them, despite them being fantastic. They were too different.
                  The magnets were $6 EACH.

                  I discontinued them around 2003.
