Description: THOMAS GUITAR PICKUP COIL WINDER, MADE IN THE USA 2021, INTEGRATED: ADVANCE EAGLE (1) WWC WITH 12 VOLTS ADAPTER: 100/240 ADAPTERTHE DESIGN AND PRODUCTION STARTED ABOUT 25 YEARS AGO WHEN I BUILT THE FIRST MODEL FOR MY AUTISTIC SON AND I MUST SAY THANKS FOR YOUR SUPPORT. SIMPLICITY AND USER FRIENDLY WERE THE MAIN GOALS IN MIND. I MUST ALSO CONGRATULATE THOSE WHO HAVE PURCHASED ONE OF THESE MODELS AND HAVE DESIGNED AND BUILT SEVERAL GUITAR PICKUPS. SOME STARTED OUT WITHOUT THE EXPERIENCE, DID THEIR HOME WORK, HAVE BECOME PROFESSIONALS AND HAVE BUILT FROM 200 TO 2000 PICKUPS, REMARKABLE AND CONGRATULATIONS. SOME FAILED AND GAVE UP BUT I ENCOURAGE YOU TO TRY AGAIN. I MUST ALSO SAY THANKS TO MY BAND MEMBERS AFTER PLAYING TOGETHER FOR OVER THE SPAN OF 21 YEARS FOR THEIR SUPPORT, AND INNER CIRCLE OF FRIENDS ALSO. PLEASE TRY AGAIN WITH A POSITIVE ATTITUDE. YOU WILL FIND SEVERAL INSTRUCTIONAL MATERIALS ON LINE FOR NOW UNTIL MY MANUAL IS READY. THE PROJECTED DATE IS UNKNOW.

THE MACHINE CAN BE USED TO DO THE FOLLOWING: 1. DESIGN AND BUILD YOUR OWN GUITAR PICKUP2. REPAIR YOUR OWN GUITAR PICKUP3. DESIGN A GUITAR PICKUP WITH A VINTAGE SPECS4. MODIFY A GUITAR PICKUP BY ADDING OR REMOVING COIL OR MAGNETIC WIRE, THE SAME. PARTS REQUIRED:MAGNETIC WIRE OR COIL, 42/43, PICKUP MAGNETS, PICKUP COVERS, SCREWS, SPRINGS, BOBBIN MATERIAL AND EYELETS. THESE PARTS ARE AVAILABLE AT STEWART MACDONALD ALONG WITH THE ENTIRE KIT AND INSTRUCTIONS. SOLDER/LEAD FREE RECOMMENDED. TOOLS REQUIRED:MAGNETOMETER/GAUZE METER, SOLDER GUN, POLARITY TESTER, DIGITAL METER, GLUE POT, EYELET SETTING TOOL , COOKING THERMOMETER TO MONITOR WAX TEMPERATURE WHILE POTTING. PRACTICE WITH THREAD IF YOU ARE DOING THIS FOR THE FIRST TIME AND USE OLD PICKUPS. CHECK WITH YOUR LOCAL REPAIR GUITAR SHOP. NOTES: YOUR RODS MUST BE CHARGED WITH NEODYMIUM MAGNETS.If you decided to make this machine yours, please remember to protect yourself and others while working, don't open the Electronics Enclosure, don't work in a wet environment, make sure that the bobbins are secured and remember to turn off the unit when finish working. GENERAL : Q/A The 42 and 43 wire gauge are used in the design application for the guitar pickup. They are very small, next to one strand of a human hair and are very fragile. You can’t apply too much tension or tug on them too hard. Actually, the smallest surgical sutures are about the same size but are much stronger than your coil or magnetic wire. You also need adequate amount of light and close up interactions throughout the entire process with the wire and the components. The white background provides better visibility because of the properties of the UV spectrum. This is one of the reasons why I use white towers and white bases in most cases. This is not really the place to discuss this but I am working on a manual which should be out very soon. The steps are not too difficult, I was able to wind several bobbins on sewing machine when I was a kid. Now I am providing you with a machine to do this. Please don’t blame the machine, don’t give up if you fail on the first trial, do your home work and prepare yourself mentally. I that believe that you can do this.WIRE OR COIL REQUIREMENTS FOR THE REGULAR GUITAR The ways in which the guitar pickups are designed over the years are pretty much the same concept and approach. The model will not change, and there is nothing pending. If you increase the number of turns around the magnets, the resistance in the coil will increase. In addition, the distortion frequency will also kick in. L = 2 (2.5) inches = the length of one side of the bobbin 1 revolution or one full turn = 5 inches or 4.5 inches number of turns = 6000 x 5 inches for a normal guitar pickup. The bass guitar: 10000 turns total length = 30,000 inches 12 inches = 1 foot 12x = 30000 inches: solve the equation for x x = 2500ft 5280ft = 1 mile 5280x = 2500ft x = 0.473 miles x 3 = 1.420 miles or 2.285 Kilometers for the 3 bobbins: REMARKABLE1 mile = 1.609 km1.420 mile = 1.609kmx/1.420 = 1.609kmx = 1.420 x 1.609 = 2.285 kmIt will be a monumental task if you try to do this with your bare hands given the requirements and the characteristics of the wire. Not practical, don't see it happening. You need this machine. When you acquire the skills you must tabulate all your data until you find a unique frequency or tone you like. No modification request at this point in time. This requires going beyond the specs of this unit. It is also time consuming and in most cases imported parts are required to finish the projects.No per-assembled units. Again, it is extremely time consuming and requires basic skills which cannot be acquired overnight or just in one step. Basic soldering techniques are required and the use of a digital multi-meter to measuring electric current, voltage and resistance using ohms Laws and having a good general knowledge on how the components are laid out on the circuit board, how they function and how electrical current or charged particles flow through them. You may have to troubleshoot which will require theoretical and practical application, extensive knowledge and hands on experience with a wide range of electronics components such as: transformers, dc motor function, solenoid or electromagnet magnets, magnetic field, capacitors, transistors, diodes, resistors, reed switch, the application of a single and double throw switch, infrared sensors, heat sinks, the integrated circuitry application. Once you damage one of these components or wire the circuit board incorrectly and fire the electric current in the opposite direction or even use a brute force approach to speed up the process may cause irreversible damage. Much more to this but this is not the place for it. This is my position for now. I have done the work for you. Still working on the book/instructional manual. Recommended for you1.
