Wilco. I will be depotting/examining the core this evening. If
suitable, I plan to do as I did for the flyback transformer - build a
pair of bobbins with a plexiglass pipe and lexan for the endcheeks
(can be welded with methylene chloride (thanks Richard Hull and Kim
Goins!). I have a small hand cranked winding machine available. I have
wound a 22,000 turn transformer secondary to repair a demo unit here.
However that took months and was tedious. I will use the lathe on
slow speed and pile wind in all probability. I don't yet know what
turns/Volt is. I certainly won't be using ultra small wire. Options
are many at this stage.
