  • Gary ............... I found that 750rpm's gives me about the best winding, it is easier to control the tension on the wire. So it takes me 12-15 mins on most pickups after I stop a few times to check how the wire is loading on the bobbin.
  • So at 1000 rpm, your 8000 turn 1st coil was wound in 8 minutes! (I'm guessing not?...) Looks like a nifty setup!
  • Thanks Buggy...….but I bet his is worth a lot more then mine lol.

  • Leo's winder

    Yours look much neater than the original ;>)

  • Cool..

  • Thanks guys. Yeah looked at the one on Stewmac but $399.00 for the kit model seemed silly when I can build the same thing for $60 ;-)

  • Looks great. I have a old singer sewing machine that I'm going to hack into a pickup winder.

  • Nice, it reminds me of the old stewmac model?
