Yes, I like to do it:
-you need a winding machine or you build your own with a low voltage
battery powered drill. Importent is a counter.
-you need some special hoses for the thin wires
-you need a special kind of paper which looks like thin cardboard
The "special stuff" I am talking about is not common to me in english.
I have to find a translation.
My elderly friend workes his hole life in a transformer/electrical motor repair
and construction company.
Nothing he couldn`t fix!
"Modern" HV transformers which are glued like the junk in my Predicta
is not worth to rewind, because you don`t get the glue off to count the windings.
All over the world we are cooking with water, this means that we can
interchange all kind of transformers as far they are similiar constructed.
The deflection angle and the high voltage has to be the same.
Then you have to control what kind of other windins and tabs you have.
In the case of my Predicta Barber Pol I decided to kick out the HV transformer,
which went down south including his glue and the 5 wire deflection yoke
and rebuild it with a Philips system.
If only the HV coil is destroyed (inside or only at one of the ends?)
it can be easy changed.
Since some weeks I work out with the help of my friend how to do
an easy transformer repair/winding change.
I have a lot of japanese vintage radios and TVs, most of my US TVs are rewinded.
My friend did it, but now because of his age he didn`t like to do it anymore.
Now I have to learn from him.
