Default Re: Agaphone Wire Recorder

I've now looked at the spools I got. I knew that one was broken before it was sent, the alloy is shattered and thus the wire is probably a right tangle. Another seems to be an empty spool. But that leaves plenty to experiment with.

Most will fit on the Agaphone hub. A couple are too tight (manufacturing tolerances?). I could easily stick them on the lathe and take a light cut over the inside of the hole, but I am not sure spinning a reel of wire like that is a good idea. Probably OK if I (a) make sure the wire end is well taped down and (b) make sure it's turning in the right direction to wind up (rather than unwind) the wire.
