Thanks for all the interest guys. The pickup is made from an ac/dc transformer "wall wort". The larger red coil had the finest wire and the most wraps so I used it for the pickup. The wires from that coil go to the vol. pot and jack using the standard wiring scheme for a pick up. I tried to get fancy and use both coils to make it a humbucker but I could not get it to work so I just cut the leads for the smaller blue coil off. I magnetized the iron square that surrounds the coils with a couple of small but powerful magnets. I bent the mount from a piece of rusty steel, sanded the inside of the bracket and the outer part of the iron square and epoxied them together. Then I drilled holes in the bracket and box and made wood spacers from the scraps of the holes to set it close enough to the strings to work, but not so close that the strings hit the pickup. It is really quite simple and works very well.

Been thinking of doing a pickup mounted similar to that.
Super cool man!
