How about a link or some explanations of what you did? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
1hp Report post Posted October 21 it is one like this: https://www.ebay.com/itm/326258473298?_skw=bobbin+winder&itmmeta=01JAQKF50DSB1BMDAB33K5AE6W&hash=item4bf6853952:g:fjEAAOSwEFpmMF~R&itmprp=enc%3AAQAJAAAA0HoV3kP08IDx%2BKZ9MfhVJKmiOV2Dtfen4bbj%2FZEM989stGDqKzt%2F63vyM8AQSD137QgkXEXH3OqMFlVG815a71hIPxCrZHtGvCL3ZbRivUKq23UVr48lzUoBvGfZO6I0RQTM5C%2FIzQosRW%2BBTzgZGcPjcRTek%2BN71NkIQFFurFUguXwW0ELkykRXKTwE2MiOBnN1UqBVPi0Ib4w%2Bn6160tFDoRUlEqynWUCYxIVie5k5bH%2B7YAweitpsR4QckI5TCkdkc0kNhPvDx9MhdqFowik%3D|tkp%3ABk9SR6bQvPPVZA 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.

dikman Report post Posted October 21 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. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Uwe Report post Posted October 21 Did you have to modify the winding post to make it fit the bobbin? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
1hp Report post Posted October 22 1 hour ago, Uwe said: 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. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Constabulary Report post Posted October 22 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. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
