Of course that raises some other issues with the TDPRI here but, that too can be discussed. I'm not looking to get rich here. Just trying to have a good discussion and share the spoils! Projects like this are always the most fun when several people get involved and help eachother see it through.
Agreed!! Since you're not looking to get rich and you want to get several people involved you should reveal your "source" so we can get the project rolling Like I said, there are several sources for CuNiFe magnets...just none that I'm aware of that will machine them and sell them in small enough quantities for hobbyists at a low enough price.


I'm not saying it "can't be done"...I'm just saying it can't be done for a few more bucks (than $800)!...A few THOUSAND more bucks...yeah, maybe

For crap's sake...if you browse the pickup winders forums those guys are having a tough enough time getting quality Alnico rod magnets affordably in small enough quantities for 'boutique' winders...finding CuNiFe THREADED rods and having the correct size bobbins manufactured would be even more difficult and expensive!
