lol I reckin so. Or get y'alls outta there, but I know that's a futile task(Just gotta get your mind in the gutter, Debs)
Looks like I'm vaping at 90w as usual thenLook at y'all sciencing... I'm so proud
*tear runs down cheek* *sigh*
Anyway
I find that tanks and RDAs work best one way. If it's a dual coil with a plug, forget the plug, use it as a dual coil. Has huge air nozzles pointing at the coils, put huge coils over them.
Hmmm, gonna need to get a new coil jig for that.I'd be curious to see how that works as well. Maybe knit one, pearl two?

Something like this but Vertical?
ah, I gotcha! Hopefully someone can help with this..Same general idea, yes. But mounted on the same side of a velocity style deck. So you couldn't really use that same method.
That's much simpler than it looks. Make one contact coil twice the desired finished height, then with a screwdriver fold it in half. This may be easier to show in a video. Let me know.OK, need some help from the coil experts. I saw a build I'd like to try in one of my Merlins, but I am at a loss on how to build it. It was a "dual" vertical coil build. So why am I struggling, and why did I put the word dual in quotes? Because it was wrapped from a single wire, connected at the top. Hopefully that makes sense enough that you can picture what I mean.
In my mind I'd have to use 2 jigs, one for each leg, wrapping opposite directions on each, and somehow keeping them close enough together while wrapping that the "bridge" section stays the right length.
Newp sorry...........Reonauts have been autosquonking since just about forever. Can't give Sir Crommers credit for that one.Autosquonking is great!!
Also, @Robert Cromwell has already copyrighted the Autosquonk... Your in Violation, even though its not your fault its doing it!![]()

hehehe ya might be on to sumpthin there. Not that it matters, but it's purl. Now you can really impress the women that a guy even knows about purling.I'd be curious to see how that works as well. Maybe knit one, pearl two?
kewl.........even I understood that.......that is pretty simpleThat's much simpler than it looks. Make one contact coil twice the desired finished height, then with a screwdriver fold it in half. This may be easier to show in a video. Let me know.
Actually, that sounds very simple.. Can always count on The Boden!That's much simpler than it looks. Make one contact coil twice the desired finished height, then with a screwdriver fold it in half. This may be easier to show in a video. Let me know.
Seems I remember The Boden also claimed his average time at 4 seconds... Interesting.So typical puff time for both of these setups appears to be a bit under 4 seconds.
Tek started as three guys in a garage in Portland, Oregon (what? about 1946 - I fergited - I must be gittin' oldt). They grew and grew and had a huge campus in Beaverton, then another one in Wilsonville, then one in Vancouver, a small plant called Walker Road (between Beaverton and Hillsboro - actually the first headquarters before they bought the Beaverton campus). They even had a European factory in England (Guernsey, and they might still have a small facility in Berkshire), and small facilities in many other countries. At one point in time, they were America's leading oscilloscope manufacturer and still focus only on test and measurement equipment (all other divisions, like printers and medical, were sold off ages ago). I left them when the last of the founders died and the board of directors installed an outside CEO who immediately ruined the company (employees no longer got profit share - it all went to stockholders). At one time, George Soros tried to buy it out and all employees rallied behind Howard Vollum's wife, giving her our proxy votes, and forced him to buzz off. That was the last time I saw such a group rally like that because the new CEO disenchanted everyone. In 2007 it was bought out by Danaher Corporation, who also owns Fluke and a bunch of others, so I don't even consider that Tek still exists, even if the name/logo is still being put on all the foreign-made equipment.I know Tektronix. I remember having some test equipment from you folks. That was another sort of HP when it started up.
