Re: [TCML] Winding the primary



hey Neal...

only positive aspect to quenching in the fish pond would be the release of copper into the water to get rid of any parasites ;)~

Thank you Rob and everyone for the advice. Interesting that it's quenched to soften it. I wonder if my daughter would mind me using the little fish pond for quenching them? :)

Neal,

You heat it then quench it with water to soften it.

I have a couple of lengths of "salvaged" tubing myself with a few too many bends in it. I wouldn't have bothered in the past, but with the cost of copper... Anyway, I was wondering if anyone has managed to UN-work harden tubing? I was thinking of sticking it in the oven on high heat for a while and letting it slowly cool. Anyone ever try it? It's a pain in the neck, sure, but compared to unpotting an nst for example, it doesn't sound too bad.

Neal.
