Thank you - I have come across over the years various examples of machines that were both clever design as well as nicely engineered. This was one of those. I'd like to find a good home for it one day.

Dang! Sold... but now I've got an idea on how to build one..;) Very interesting video! Thanks for sharing!

I think the second spool arrangement might actually slide over the columns of the main unit. you could then simultaneously wind on two wires to make a transformer. Strange it did not have some form of turns counter which would be an important detail for coil making. delightful little design.

Hi Rob, Addition of a counter was always in mind - either a mechanical one or a hall effect type set-up. It is now in a museum in the Netherlands!

Thanks. Never used that for motor winding - just small RF coils for radio use, or small chokes etc. I don't think it would easily adapt for motor coil winding.

10/30/13 - now sold - to a museum in Netherlands where they restore old radios etc and collect vintage stuff - glad it found a new home.

1:52 , when it goes down more and more it releases some friction ... the point is when it goes down it means the wire has more tension on it so it loosens the grip on the reel to loosen the tension ... it's a dynamic balance tension device ...

Thank you for taking the time to show & explain the details of this, I watched it 3 times. I see that this unit sold, but, I kindly ask, if you are allowed to answer this question, how much did this neat machine sell for? or maybe to ask it this way, what is this machine worth, if one needed to insure it, based on the condition like yours? Did it have a manufacture name or brand, and or a model number? I really enjoyed this video, it was relaxing to watch! Thank you, Drew

It was bought by a guy in the Netherlands, who deals with a museum containing many old radios etc. I think it made about $200 - and shipping was $160!! No maker's name on it or model number.

Im going to reproduce this in wood! I make wood gears out of baltic birch plywood that are perfect.

My guess is that device was built in the 1920s. It's quite a machine! I'm curious about what kind of coils you made with it. Since you mentioned "RF" perhaps you are a radio and electronics enthusiast? Thanks for the video.

Hi Jeffry, Hard to date but suspect you may be right - it was pretty old for sure. I started in electronics as a kid and spent a lot of time making stuff until surface mount and dedicated chips took some fun out of it! If I couldn't breadboard a project it probably didn't get done! I did more audio and test gear than RF but did wind inductors now and again - typically small coils for RF - simple superhets etc.

You are becoming more interesting in terms of your interests and experiences as I watch more of your videos. I worked with RF and digital gear for a living several times in my career. We also dealt with surface mount. As a tech, I'd troubleshoot and turn the gear over to a builder to remove and replace parts. It was company policy. Circuit traces lasted longer that way! I'm also a licensed ham radio operator. It's enjoyable to make contacts via Morse Code/CW. I'm not much of a SSB guy. Take care!

I often meant to get my amateur license but never did. Long ago had an old HRO and used to scan the waves, including SSB - I'd added a small simple oscillator for that. I rather miss the old days of thermionic valves! I often think, as long as I have some BC109s, some 741 op amps and the usual selection of R and C and I - I can make loads of things still. Maybe also throw in a few TTL and CMOS as well :)

One of my ham radio mentors had a beautiful HRO receiver and a DX-100 transmitter. It was a pleasure to use that receiver. Ed Smith was a WWII vet and fellow Legion member with my Dad. His call was K2KHM. H]When his friends brought a SSB rig to compare performance, he was convinced and joined the SSB ranks.

A full description was done so as to inform any prospective buyer - which in fact has been well served as the new owner is dismantling to re-furbish, and, the video should help with re-assembly. At about 2:40 it is shown briefly in operation.
