Pointless to you maybe. I actually needed to rewind that pickup and it was faster to make up this machine and let it do the job than do it myself by hand.
@scorpion097 its really nice! if i had lego bits i would make one, the only problem is that the speed is changing a lot. if the pickup speeds up and slows this dramatically changes the tension on the wire. this could cause the wire be loose enough to vibrate and produce feed back. i think it might be the rubber bands fault! and if you put a proper bearing underneath the wire bobbin it would be an improvement!
Well the bragging won't last long. Someone will eventually show up with technical questions like what gauge wire and how many turns and will make you look stupid if you don't know... I honestly don't know these answers for this pickup...
Of course if you get lucky, you can just reply "who care's? I like how it sounds".
ahahaahaa.very fucking good. lego on youtube being used for whats it is for.thats an awfully big roll of copper wire. some of these winders like scruffy as fuck. this looks like the dogs bollocks
The first time I messed with the pickup was by hand and it took me a couple weeks or more before I had a pickup again (a few hours of work per day).
I don't know about the hand-hurting part. It just bored me to death because apart from a ridiculous lot of time it demanded constant attention on my part throughout all of the process.
This is a very "light" video. =p

It would take three weeks to wind a pickup, but it would be so worth it... bragging rights and all.

I thought about doing this a while back, but I never got past the design stage. Your design looks a lot more complicated than mine did though :D
How do you count the number of turns?

If THAT one looks complicated, then what can you say about Rish's lego pickup winder (look it up in the related videos) ?
Anyway, I thought it couldn't get simpler than mine and still work on its own, so I wonder what your design looked like.

Well nowhere really... It is a custom handmade job with pieces out of my personal collection.
The motor kit is #8720 and the rest is from kits #8858 and #8872 but it's overkill!

awesome!
where can i buy the kit?
