hello,
Has anyone unwound an armature? How many turns is it safe to remove? How many turns does it take to drop a few ohms? Will I need stronger magnets after I do it or are the J/L mags strong enough?
:confused:

Ok got the idea on rewind, but has anyone unwould an armature? I know that people have done it, it reduces the toal ohms of the arm so current will increase. I want to play but prefer not to burn it open. I was told a long time ago unwind 3 turns, seems like it is not enough to make a difference but that is where I will stark. any tips for removing the varnish on the wire?

You may want to get in touch with mtyoder. He did a screamin tjet and monster for me. Does all his arms by hand and I think I talked to him about removing wire.

I think everyone just about covered everything. Great job. :thumbsup:
I wind arms also and it would take a great deal to explain how winding is done. I do drag to road arms. If you are going to do a mild road arm use 36 or 38 gauge wire to start winding. As for removing varn. I use sand paper.
220 wet/dry. Place wire end between paper and pull easy. removes it easily. The exacto trick is a great one also.
Remember when winding do not kink or twist a bend in wire. If you do..Start over. :(

yea bends no good, heat up and burn open

Yeah, but you do it anyway. I can tell when you have by just looking at you. You have little bald spots on you head from pulling out your hair. :D

I unwound an accelerator arm once or twice. I counted the turns and made them equal on each lam. Easier way is to measure the length.

It was a faster performer but I had excessive heat issues.

I'm thinking I took 30 turns off each lam. Randy.

Bald spots on my arms from pulling off windings! Ha!

Anyone have a good source for wire?????

Ive had a fair amount of success winding arms.I just cant find a decent source for the wire to do it with.
