I watch shango all the time and that's what lead me here. My electronics career started out as a calibration tech for a company that made all kinds of transformers back in the mid 70's. I never got involved in that part of the operation but kept a lot of their stuff calibrated and repaired. I watched a lot of the transformer manufacturing out on the floor and always found it fascinating how they kept it all in one neat tight package. they made stuff the size your working on and all the way up to water cooled muti-station welding transformers for the ship building industry that were gigantic.
I love your sense of humor! My wife loves it when I do stuff like this at the kitchen table...and yes...if it doesn't fall on the floor it doesn't count! hahahahahahahahahahahahaha
I've read that when you take them apart you want to do so in a manor as if you were going to be reassembling them. I've never actually reassembled one but I've sure taken a lot of them apart...
Yes, sometimes it is easier said than done, this one just wanted to be unwound, haha. Most of the time it is so crusty and baked that you cannot even start.
Thanks! With really thin wire gauges it is really difficult to get the tension just right and then the wire might snap during the winding if it gets over tensions. When winding from hand I have a bit more control like that and it is faster to wind without multiple attempts to get the tension just perfect.
Thanks! That thing has a loooot of taps, I would have to check the dimensions and are the laminations the same size as the modern ones. Because it needs to fit to a tight space I guess. If you have one to be rewound, please send me a message with details and dimensions of the original.
@@Delatsch I have only one working.Im searching another that I can send to you.I have documentation but ther is only type of transformer and no parameters.I have ful documentation L3-3 but I don't know if it is the same.
Im baffled, in looking for the data on the transformer on my space command 600 I was brought to this channel, only to also find it's the dude the prior owner of my roundie sent his HOT too. Small world I guess
Niestety nie, bo przez stary lakier cienki drut pęka za często, tak ze tez trzeba ręcznie po wolutku odwijac. Jedynie jest lepiej bo widac jak jakiś ze zwojow jest nawiniety odwrotnie.

Wow, I wonder how it was for the people as a day job? They probably used those long arbours and wound dozens at a same time.
They did and large batches then would go into a very large vacuum vessel filled with a varnish solution and heated to a certain temperature.
Great start to my New Year, thanks Marko, have a great New Year.
Thank you! To you as well, all the best!

Haha, glad you enjoy it!

My transformer!
Magnifico
Thank you!
Great video! Just wondering why you are tensioning and traversing the bobbin by hand and not using the machine to do so?

When winding from hand I have a bit more control like that and it is faster to wind without multiple attempts to get the tension just perfect.
Nice.Can you rewind power supply transformer for tube amp tester L1-3?

Not many people left out there winding Zenith transformers I guess, haha.
...nie lepiej na nawijarkę cyfrową wrzucić i jak będziesz rozwijał, to zliczy Ci zwoje?
Niestety nie, bo przez stary lakier cienki drut pęka za często, tak ze tez trzeba ręcznie po wolutku odwijac. Jedynie jest lepiej bo widac jak jakiś ze zwojow jest nawiniety odwrotnie.
@@Delatsch ...wtedy jedną ręka ciągniesz za drut, drugą rotujesz wałek....tak robię u siebie - działa w przypadku drutu ok.0.1mm
Sprobuje następnym razem!
Plavi papir.
Hahahahahaa, bukvalno.
