What's wrong with the winder on the machine? I use mine & it seems to work great.

so is it a DIY or have you bought it as is on Ebay. How about a link or some explanations of what you did?

it is one like this:

made a frame out of aluminum to hold the tensioner the same distance from spool as the one on the Cobra. tensioner was off the winder that came with my 206RB5.

Ooohhh, I'll have to get one, I've always wondered how many turns went on a bobbin!

The counter aside, it does look a bit neater than my diy one.

Did you have to modify the winding post to make it fit the bobbin?

no, it was a very snug fit on the stock Cobra bobbin.

fyi, it was 600 revolutions to fill bobbin with #277 Amann.

different thread size means different number of revolutions. Hmmm. I think I will stick with my DIY one that automatically stops when the bobbin is full no matter what thread size.
