Sorry, hit post too soon on others, put some different pics in this one, some are mess ups but decided to share
Yo @Superfecta_ I wanna see you make an interlocking alien, with a framed staple for the cores. Interlocking aliens for me are hit or miss. Sometimes I'll get a length perfect, but most times it'll start out good and well and then everything goes haywire on me (no matter drill speed), because the decored Claptons stretch differently even when tied together at both ends. I've been focusing on finding the perfect build for my Kennedy 24, so I haven't building as many aliens for myself lately. I'm gonna try out quads once I pull my 24/26 fused with 38g that I have in there now.
If I had any ribbon on me I'd be wasting my last 250ft of 36g trying to do it too haha. I'm going to go for it with 28g cores (maybe 10-20 strands of 40g framed as the center core), and a 36g or 38g interlocking alien.
Stay tuned.
If you forget, go edit your post, press "More Options..." And click "Full Image" on your pic so you don't have to double post, every post
Edit: installed my 26g Clapton alien in my Hobo. Ohm'd out to bout .25.

I can only make like 2" of this at a time before it starts doing some funky stuff. Your decored para clapton needs to be perfect, or else when you stretch it, you're screwed. I've got some very interesting looking fails trying to do these. I'll have to slide this to the back burner for now.
My #&^$*% tripod broke today while I was snapping pics of these reversed framed staple aliens. Pics from me will be few and far between for a little bit until I figure out what I'm going to do. By figure out what I'm going to do, I mean figure out how much $$$ I wanna blow on a new photo setup. I might have to go all out, build a lightbox and stuff, we'll see.
This guy on instgram floral face makes these sweet looking reversed framed staple aliens, and I gave em a shot today. Nothing special on the process really, just wrap the alien the same way as the OG Clapton instead of opposite like normal. Makes for neat looking little coils. They are a total PITA to wrap into coils though, you really have to force them around a little to get them to sit right. I think they look cool.
These are all n80 28 .4 36 3mm .09Ω
It's not only the decored paraclapton that needs to be perfect, they need to be stretched perfectly uniformly as if they were one wire. When I try them I twists the ends together so to make sure that they stay perfect when stretching the decored clapton(s).I can only make like 2" of this at a time before it starts doing some funky stuff.

That's just (bad) luck about your photo rig. Building a light box wouldn't be hard or expensive, tripods are cheap. I'd say get an inexpensive phone camera clip for your pics until you figure out what you're gonna do.

Mm tubes... Most kids these days would mistake them for flux capacitors for a time traveling Delorean.Here's a different kind of coil porn
I found the pictures. But the EL34's in the second image are used in classic British guitar amplifiers like Marshalls and Hiwatts, both of which I have owned and loved.

Marshalls are top notch. I used to own an angled Marshall half cab & amp (forget the specs on it), sold it because I wasn't playing as much as I used to. I was like 20 when I parted with it. The money went to good use, it funded my DJ rig. Umm, well, part of it....
I overhauled those 1200mk2's - new RCA's, internally grounded (not in that pic), and all lighting - pitch, strobe & pop up LED. In that pic only one has the reworked lighting as I'm just lazy AF.
You missed a few wraps! Now the world is gonna come to an end. Looks good though, I usually end up keeping my more deformed coils for myself because I sell the better made coils. Gotta make money & the coils I screw up work just as fine
Well actually, when i went to wrap the coils, it kinda stretched it and screwed it up a little bit, but yeaa, vaping just as fine!
