What else is going this fine Saturday evening?
BTW I got my Red SPN today.
It looks pretty good.

What else is going this fine Saturday evening?

We went to the local volunteer fire department town carnival & are now watching M.Monroe movies on TCM.
Sorry.

I still haven't figured out hot to wind the wire around the Flower Pot?
T

Find out what spec's are from the manufacturer ,How many ohm per foot (648.2 Ohm per 1000' according to MWS sheet of 38 gauge wire )
You will need to figure out the circumference of your coil
So if we use Ward's (With a capital W) 16" Circumference you will need 386 turns of 38 gauge +/-

[copperheadroads]

Do you really think you know what cold is

Here's a pic I took in my truck one day a few winters ago ,Ford thermometers only go to -40 & stop ,I was -47 that day ....that's -52.6 Fahrenheit ......Burrrrrrrrrr

[copperheadroads]

How is this possible .I was experimenting with a high output humbucker & I was aiming for about 16.5k & I wanted to use 43 gauge wire so I referred to the Good old coil estimator (which I have been using & got to know how to make this work for me to be quite close to my desired output )
so to achieve 8.25 ohm per coil the estimator says around 8500 turns , NOW how did I get to 9k per bobbin without stretching the wire , I know there was no stretching of the wire (my wire tension was measured & actually lowered for the second attempt ,but still pretty much the same output
I guess I should of went with my gut when using awg 43 (1000 ohm's per turn ) works out pretty close

All of the new Elektrisola except the HPN seems to be small per gauge.

But, I wound one of my pickups with 7000 turns & came out with the same dcr & my spool of essex wire that I've had for a few years

But, I wound one of my pickups with 7000 turns & came out with the same dcr & my spool of essex wire that I've had for a few years

That spool of red I got today.
I micd it at around .0025, the smallest wire yet.
I bought some natural a couple weeks back, and it is .0026.
The old roll of essex I have, is over .0027".
I still have some of the essex left, but it breaks everytime I get to winding with it.
So I finally gave up on it and ordered the 2 rolls of Elektrisola.
That small red, I can't wait to wind a mini blade bobbin with it.
It should be the berries!
I took the hummers out of my strat, messing with the A2s and thought I would try the Canceler with them.
I can't wait to get the buckers back in.
I forgot how noisey the SCs are.
My bedroom where I play in the house, has 60 Cycle hum out the Wazoo!

60 CYCLE hum Is Paramount to great tone

[rjb]

60 CYCLE hum Is Paramount to great tone

When I see reference to "British tone", does that mean 50 Hz hum?

After playing quiet pickups, I can't handle it.
I have one local musician that doesn't care about noise.
Then I have another local musician that was used to Actives.
You can't get regular pickups quiet enough for him.

What about our 38 gauge humcanceler flowerpotcoil ,Can it be in a pedal enclosure ,Or do it need to be near the pups ?

It needs to be near the P/Us.
It wires between the volume pot and the 5 way switch.
You take the wire off from the vol. pot and the 5 way, and sub the coil
That also means no RWRP, all 3 P/Us have to be the same.
I will get back on the project again later.

It needs to be near the P/Us.

It also needs to be parallel to the P/U coils.

I'm going to try mine in the control compartment where the switch and Pots are.
It may not work, but if it will, that would be easiest.
I will get back to you on that.
I did find something suitable to wind the coil on.
about a 14 inch per coil, and that will barely fit in the Pot cavity.
