I get all of my single coil pick up parts from tonekraft and I have to say the quality is nothing less than stellar.

This guitar building lark is getting complicated 🤪 great post and brilliant tip about phase checking. I can see upgrading my electronics on the horizon, at the moment it’s very much suck it and see!

This hand held tensioner has been a bit of a lifesaver for me too Woltz. Very much a must have if you intend to wind humbuckers.

It was a preferred addition when winding single coils but it wasn't until I got to winding humbuckers that I really needed the tension. Its damn hard getting 500 winds on a bobbin.

If I was to make a couple sets of single coil toaster style pickups would there be any interest?
Due to not wanting to be sued by Rickenbacker they would have one of the other deArmond designed covers.
But if you wanted the toaster covers you could source a set which would fit.

So I was given an USB Oscilloscope as an early B'Day gift. I picked up a cheap signal generator off eBay (which initially didn't work, the IC was stuffed, but got a new IC from Jaycar and it started working straight away).
Set up to test inductance of the Tonerider TRT1 Neck Pickup which measures:
6.62k
2.27H
It's a bit of a mess of wires but essentially it is set up to create a Lissajous Figure.
Here is a link for anyone interested: https://www.syscompdesign.com/wp-con...ar-pickups.pdf
Once I've wound a driver coil I'll set everything up to try to find the resonant peak. Unfortunately this cheap oscilloscope and signal generator combo means that I don't have a bode plotter so I'll have to look at the signal instead as I vary the frequency on the signal generator.

Looks good. And your desk reminds me of mine. I don't have a dedicated workbench so I set up electronics on the computer desk too.
Would something like Friture help with the frequency analysis. Not quite Bode plots, but you can see the frequency domain spectra in real time.
