I searched and could not find anything on the topic. Hell, I wouldn't be surprised if it's been done already. Just though I'd share something that made my life using the Aqua (UVO/Foootoon) easier.
I've always loved/loathed re-coiling my Aquas. As a tinkerer, I don't mind the attention to detail that goes in to making sure the leads/tails are spaced far enough to spring into the post slots, or offsetting the coils to deal with the tug of the nuts as they tighten.
I've always thought there had to be a better way. At first, I tried a jig, then when that crowded the workspace too much, resulting to using a custom u-shaped section of steel wire (the gauge of the coil) to manipulate both coils at the same time with one hand. Well here is my newest advancement. A single ribbon, with 90 degree bends forming holes for the shanks of the post threads to fit through.
If this hasn't been done and a tutorial is wanted, just let me know. It looks pretty self explanatory to me. BTW, these take about 5-10 minutes to whip up with a couple of easily purchased inexpensive tools.
