As per all the above. I've done it myself. Worked a treat. |

Polyester tape is what's normally used, it's very slightly stretchy so you can wind it nice and tight and it ends up almost like shrink wrap. |
| sureshot:
Ever find one solution leads to another problem... One of the units I'm doing didn't account for extra winding size, added windings to this particular unit will foul the 10 turn potentiometer on the front panel. Lol. Totally unrealated to this topic, forward thinking that's whats needed in future. Allow some tolerances around inside a project enclosure. :palm: |
| eblc1388:
Are you saying the base of the 10 turn potentiometer is currently touching the transformer surface? If so, why can't you just avoid that portion of the core and wind the new coil evenly on the remaining area? |
| sureshot:
Yes i could do that, mark it with a sharpie and avoid that small area, it is only tiny after all. Thanks for the idea. |
