Aumann coil winding machine. Model WE. - UK Vintage Radio Repair and Restoration Discussion Forum

Hello.
I bought a coil winding machine. It's a German-made Aumann machine. Unfortunately, I don't have the user manual for the machine. Although the machine seems to be simple to use, it is essential to have the manual in order to use it properly.
Does anyone have the manual, or know of a website where I can get it? It would be great help.
Thank you for your help.
All the best. Joel.

Further my last message concerning the coil winding machine AUMANN, I forgot to specify the type or model: it is a WU.

The manual has been posted on this forum. Have a look at this thread:

Dear frsimen.

There is a mistake in my message, in fact , it is the model WE and not WU. Sorry about
the confusion.
Yes you are right a discussion has been posted on this forum, but it was for the model WU.
Thanks. Joel

Aumann winders don't seem to be that common and manuals even less so, are you able to post some photos of your winder, I have a model WG which has been used almost daily for the last few months, it is an early model with variac style speed control for the spindle, the manual posted on this forum is for a later model with solid state speed spindle speed control, so not all parts of the manual apply to my machine, it's also available as a download from ElektroTanya.

There is a manual available from the US here https://www.ebay.com/itm/256322436265, the seller's ad says postage only within the USA, but - he has had it for quite a while so if you are inclined to pay then he may relax his rules if you contact him, not much good for me as I have a different model.

From what I can gather Aumann winders seem to a bit of a mix and match affair so a manual from a different model may have a info that is relevant to a range of different models.
