Winding

Rewind broken pickups or custom wind your own.
This machine is simple to set up and easy and accurate to use.
It is made to machine shop standards and is ruggedly built into a heavy duty ABS cabinet. The main shaft is fully supported by ball bearings.
This machine is patterned after the one that I've been using in my workshop for the past 8 or so years.

Technical Description
This coil winding machine is designed to properly wind coils using wire ranging from approximately 32 ga. up to 46 ga.
The coil winder consists of a strong, heavy wall ABS box with counter-rotating arms. The winder's arms rotate in opposite directions to allow you to wind coils in either a clockwise or counter-clockwise manner.
The entire assembly is mounted on a sturdy composite base.
Mounted in front of the tower is the cross feed limiter. The limiter is used to preset the span at which the coil wire can be wound across the bobbin.
A re-settable digital rotation counter is mounted on the front of the tower assembly.
The tension on the wire, as well as the movement of the wire between the cross feed limits, is done by hand.

Technical Specifications
Maximum speed (no load): 900 RPM
Actual winding speed (as tested under load): 750 RPM
Feet per minute (tested actual winding speed at full torque): 400 f.p.m.
Time required to wind an average 5.6k strat type single coil: approximately 9 minutes.

SDLMPT Schatten Multiple Puller Tool

The Multiple Puller tool is a specially designed dual purpose puller that comes with two different internal puller blocks. With the 'light duty block' it can safely apply upward pressure to remove control knobs from guitars and amps.

The 'heavy duty block' is used for pulling bridge and tailpiece studs and comes with the hardware necessary for extracting Gibson, Schaller, or Gotoh bushings without damage to the instrument. A rubberized base helps to protect the guitar's finish.

SDS2TK Schatten S2 Selmer Tool Kit

Tool Kit for installing HFN-S2's into petite bouche instruments:
A 2 piece tool kit is available at a negligible cost for installing the pickup into instruments having the smaller sound holes (petite bouche). Larger sound hole and D shaped sound hole instruments do not need the tool kit as the opening in these instruments is easily large enough to get one's hand in.

The tool kit consists of one tool that is angled and articulated to allow you to install the pickup through the sound hole and a second tool that enables you to pull the endpin jack or endpin jack preamp into place through the end block. This 2 piece tool kit can be seen on either pdf installation instruction sheet
