THE ORIGINAL THOMAS GUITAR PICKUP WINDER MODEL EAGLE 1 (WWMS) WITH METAL BASE

Description

THOMAS GUITAR PICKUP COIL WINDER, MADE IN THE USA 2021, INTEGRATED: ADVANCE EAGLE (1) WWMC WITH 12 VOLTS ADAPTER: 100/240 ADAPTER
THE 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.

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: REMARKABLE
1 mile = 1.609 km
1.420 mile = 1.609km
x/1.420 = 1.609km
x = 1.420 x 1.609 = 2.285 km
It
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.
