Default Re: Interstage Audio coupling transformer

I think can certainly measure the wire diameter with a micrometer. When buying the new wire is it gauged for just the copper or is it sized for the copper plus the enamel.

I was going to try and unwind it now I have softened it with acetone it feels like it wants to unwind. I have bought a cheap electronic counter module from eBay so I will attempt to build an unwinding machine.

I have also put a mark where it’s centre tapped so if all else fails I will wind until I hit the mark. I don’t see I have anything to loose but my time.

Thanks for the replies and excellent advice. I will keep you all posted. I hope to get it working but it’s the journey that’s the interest for me. Never tried to wind a transformer and it’s nice to find something new in life.

Regards Chris
