This is a handmade pickup winder with speed over 1000 rpm in new condition with a brand new auto-traverse. It has a knob to turn on and increase the speed and a rocker switch that you can choose the motor to turn clockwise, off, or counter clockwise. It has a 5 digit digital counter with a power and reset button. Some people have asked if it comes with the screw clamp system. It does. Comes with a power supply!
Color of case and pickup mount wheel will be my choice unless you specify that you want a certain color case and bobbin mount wheel (that I have in stock). Also note the new pickup attachment by screw. Now there are two ways to mount the pickup by double sided tape or by screw clamp. If you have any questions feel free to message me!NEW IMPROVED TRAVERSE MODEL!
Now easier to use and has a speed boost knob in case of ramps developing at the end of travel!
Instructions for setting up the Guitar Pickup Winder
1.Setting up the Wire Guide.Using the included 1.5mm hex wrench set the Wire Guide inside the Shaft Mounting Hub and tighten the two grub screws to hold it in place. Then using the same 1.5mm hex wrench situate the Collars on the Wire Guide so that the wire will be guided between the top and bottom pieces of the bobbin and use the same hex key to tighten them after using a straightedge as shown below to situate them. Adjust this after you wind a few loops to see that the wire is covering the bobbin adequately.
2. Using the Bobbin Clamp. If you’re using the Bobbin Clamp method instead of the double stick tape to secure the bobbin to the Pickup Wheel put the Thumb Nut on the screw with the small diameter part facing the bottom of the screw, then put on the Plastic Clamp with the flat part towards the top of the screw. Then put it through the hole in the middle of the Pickup Bobbin (if it has a hole, some bobbins don’t). Screw in the screw maybe three or four revolutions into the Pickup Wheel and then tighten the Thumb Nut down on the plastic piece to hold the bobbin onto the Pickup Wheel. You can also use double sided tape and try to get the bobbin centered as well as possible, it’s not really critical to get it perfect.
3.Front panel button operation. Put the Directional Rocker Switch on the front panel in either the top or bottom position to get the Pickup Wheel to revolve either clockwise or counter clockwise. Either way will work. The middle position is off so if you’re not getting any motor shaft movement check that! The knob on the left of the front panel controls the speed of the Pickup Wheel.
4. The Digital Counter. To turn on the counter push the left button until you see digits. To turn if off hold the button in until you see it is off. The Counter Reset button is on the right to reset the counter to zero to start a new wind. There is a AA battery in it that may need changed which is easily accessible from the bottom.
5. Instructions for New and Improved Traverse. Use left knob to set a travel limit (one side of the bobbin), press down on the momentary toggle switch, do it again for the other end of travel (the other side of the bobbin) press down on the momentary toggle switch, press down on the toggle switch again to start the rack movement. The right knob is the speed knob turning clockwise for faster speed and the middle knob is the anti-ramp speed boost which makes it increase speed at the ends of travel so the wire doesn\'t stack up at the ends.
