El Toro pickup bobbins-1

Johnny is on fire! He sent me some pics as he worked on the El Toro pickup bobbins today with Norma. 1) cleanup of laser cut fibers. 2) brass connection eyelets are pressed in with the old Stimpson machine. 3) hammer down the eyelets a bit so they’re more flush with the fiber surface 4) the SB-2 bridge pickup jig lines up. Nice. 5) some DIY creativity to set the width between the bobbin fibers to match original El Toro spec. 6) completed bobbins are lacquer dipped and hanging dry just as they would have in the 1980s.
