Hi,
I want to dabble into the old art of transformer winding.
I'm looking into machines that are under $400 USD.
I see a few on ebay, but I've never had to select one before.
Do you guys have any suggestions? I want to be able to make tube or solid state power transformers, audio output transformers, and audio input transformers. Being able to make chokes, inductors, guitar pick ups, and line level transformers would be nice too. I don't need an industrial machine, something with a counter that can do quadfiller EI style transformers is fine.
What do you guys this of this machine: http://www.ebay.com/itm/New-Manual-Hand-Winding-Winder-Machine-NZ-2Coil-Electric-Dual-purpose-Counting-/331222519228?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item4d1e668dbc
I can't tell if it's a good machine for winding or not because I've never used one. Can it hold the style bobbins that I want to use? like the ones from edcor?

I want to know how many spools of magnet wire it can hold at one time.. I can't really tell.
