Adding this for everyone but especially for Mike as he
requested keeping him updated...so Mike..from here
it's just getting some wire and going for it.
I suspect the location of the guides may be the only issue now other
than skill. Here are some detail shots not in video.
I didn't want to deal with wiring
to make mod's so I designed it easy to take apart. Both
components feed in through the front.
Good shot of magnet and reed switch.

.
If I make another I'll used the flanged bearing rather than the pillow block.
You can see the black painted shaft with reflector tape for the laser tach.
"Jig" to show reliefs for eyelets and magnets-also centers the
pup. Sloppy but hey...it was my first and it works lol.
Old pickups that I just removed the wire so I could make the "jigs". You
can see that they aren't flat enough for sticky tape to hold them.
.
Guide bar attached- I used part of an oak
paper towel holder :)
.
I may enclose the back.
Hope ya'll enjoy...and don't throw those old pups away! lol...ya never know
when you might can use 'em.
