Calavera Posted November 7, 2006 Report Share Posted November 7, 2006 Hi! Sometimes when I wire my pickups I get this phenomenon, which I cant explain, the wiring becomes uneven. And it becomes uneven so that it is impossible to correct it while wiring the coi. It is kind if hard to explan, so I draw a picture! The red is the edges of the coil wire, hope you understand my problem! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
unklmickey Posted November 7, 2006 Report Share Posted November 7, 2006 hi Calavera, if i had to GUESS, i'd say the early part of the winding is too loose, and the later winding is causing the wire that's already wound to shift. it seems like having the tension fairly high in the beginning, and decreasing as you go, would probably minimize this. but as i said at the outset, this is just a guess. unk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
has-sound Posted November 7, 2006 Report Share Posted November 7, 2006 Your bobbin is not spinning "true" which means that it is not 90 degrees to the shaft that it is spinning on. ~Stan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
unklmickey Posted November 11, 2006 Report Share Posted November 11, 2006 hi Stan, that sure sounds more likely than what i thought! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
has-sound Posted November 11, 2006 Report Share Posted November 11, 2006 hi Stan, that sure sounds more likely than what i thought! Yep, it's a problem that I had when I first started winding. It drove me crazy until I figured out what was causing it. I used a small square to adjust my bobbin plate to my winder shaft and it hasn't happened since. ~Stan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
