Elektrisola Wire Types

I found this Elektrisola wire comparison chart, I have it bookmarked in the Resources thread.
It shows the difference between different wires available.
There appears to be very little differece between P155, and PN155.

Hi Jim

I got in touch with David at Mojo and he explained that 3M were basically not interested in supplying him with the tape. A bit of a shame really.

Cheers

It works fine. I use it for a lot of other things too. They have 1/2 inch as well. In both cases there is a minimum order but it is cheap enough. Once it is waxed it looks very vintage. I also have used the natural color on some of my rewinds that used the natural color to start with and that works good too. I use the 1/4 inch to tape the individual humbucker coils, the 1/2 inch black tape on Fender type stuff and also to tape over the assembly on humbuckers whether they are getting a cover or not. If they aren't getting a cover I put a wrap of the 3M #11 tape on over that and glue the end down with a dab of superglue before potting. It looks good. Another great use for the 1/4 inch and 1/2 inch natural color tape is to mask the frets on fingerboards when doing a fret leveling. That is what I use the natural colored ULINE tape for the most. I start out masking with ordinary 1 inch tape and switch to the 1/2 and then to the 1/4 as the frets get close together.

I buy black paper drafting tape from art supply stores. You can also get the crape stuff. There is no reason to buy paper tape from a pickup parts supplier.

Back to Mojo Issues!
It seems they are out of many pickup Parts.
It's hard to order all the parts to make a complete Pickup!
Everything I go to order seems to have that "SOLD OUT, BACK IN STOCK SOON!" in RED.
Do you have to run out of something before you reorder it?
Most of the pickup Kits are out of stock.
Lots of covers and just general Pickup parts!
Mojo You would sell more parts if you would keep them in stock!

Hi T, I'm waiting to hear back from my supplier. I did pay tooling to have all our keeper bars made thicker at a true .125". Hopefully they made it in on this order and that's part of the delay. I'll let you know.

What alloy steel are these new keepers going to be made from?

Thanks.

What alloy steel are these new keepers going to be made from?

Thanks.

I have no clue, my supplier won't disclose. I just know they will be the same mild steel alloy as our current ones which seem to sound and function fine.

Will these be the less expensive variety, or the more expensive US Made?
Thanks David, for all you do for us picky Winders!

The newer thicker ones will be our standard less expensive ones. My US supplier wants to triple the cost for .005'' thickness increase. Apparently they would have to get thicker material and mill it down to .125'' which they don't have to do now. Not sure how my other supplier is avoiding this and not having to increase our cost much. Anyhow, the new thicker ones are gradually changing over so I don't know how many (if any) on our latest shipment made it to the new spec yet. I changed this after the fact so they may still be the same until next time.

MOJO, could you please consider ordering some A5 Unoriented 6 string Humbucker Magnets sometime?
I think you would sell a lot of them.
As it stands now, I have to place a special order with a magnet supplier to get these.
Since most of us buy pickup parts along from mojo anyway, it would simplify things if you stocked them for us!
Thank You,
Terry
