Has anyone acquired this book?

Looks interesting, but would like someone's opinion before buying it.

:x i have cracked open many transformers to get to the wire after radio shaft stores clearance what's left of the stock supply of parts they used to sell/ it takes hours depending on the transformer and how its made

the iron plates don't have to be woven in in fact it could be an old chain link wound at both ends or cut in half to make winding easy then re attached somehow wind primary and secondary the to get the step up or down you need :D

many early transformers when first invented were solid iron with a detachable part for winding wire :D

but if the price is rite
:wink: Dan
