Hey guys, spent another few minutes on the phone with Cinemag yesterday, and I'm about to place another order. I haven't received my last order yet though, and I'm getting antsy.
I was hoping CJ would pop back in and sell me a couple of his fat ones, but alas it hasn't happened. So I've begun collecting materials to wind my own. There's a guy I follow on YouTube and Patreon called Delatsch who has a winding calculator app and I'm just about ready to go.
Those of you who've done this, how far out of my depth am I? I'm sure it's not as simple as "wind the wire around the bobbin", but is it going to take years before I get something usable?
And I started with EI100 laminations. Why is it so hard to find a bobbin that size? Any ideas where I could source more parts?
PS, I really have trouble with the search function returning anything I'm looking for, so I apologize if this has been covered ad nauseum.
