Default Re: Quick n dirty coil winder

I have built one with a vertical spindle powered by an ice cream maker drive on an old Kenwood with a chip on the gearbox that makes the mincer bend the locking pin.
I found a device called MICOS-C that contains a 74 series counter with nixie display and another board with more 74 series chips and an octal relay that changes state according to the setting of the much in demand thumb wheel switches.
With an added paper sensor out of an old huge printer it works.
