The waiting for gear really gets to me at times......
There is always a workaround for glitches, mistakes and other Guitar building gremlins.....
I am pretty patient but my customer isnt haha, doesnt want me to wind his pickups on the old machine, wants to be 1st out on the new one, the thing has mojo already
Well its looks like its still onboard with driver and i wont see it today, hope hes not winding coils with it
Ok its off to my local bottle shop for some timber and parts
EDIT: was just about to drive out the gate and the brown UPS van turned up, cant wait to do some winding tomorrow

That's the soldering station I bought last year. I bought a Weller soldering station in 1982 that's done me well for years, but it seems the element has gone. It was easier buying a new station than finding a replacement part.
