Hi, Jeannie,
In case it is helpful, please know/pass along that I would certainly buy
one of these, should they become available.
Thank you very much!
Kind regards.

Roger is not a machinist but he has a good connection to one. I'll talk with him about it.

Maybe we could convince Roger Gable to make a run of these. Or some other machinist on here.

Hi ALan,
I think there might be some confusion about which Sciortino tool is being mentioned.
The one by Supply 88 mimics the simpler version which holds the tuning pin while threading and turning it in the technician's hand. This can simply be made by boring a smaller hole in the end of a dowel.
The other tool that Joe made was very sophisticated. The tuning pin would be partially pounded into the pinblock. The tools has a gangle and is calibrated for the size of the pin and gauge of wire. It assists in making a perfect coil with the exact number of coils on every pin. No one has duplicated this tool. Larry Loebel made an excellent YouTube video demonstrating both tools.
I may have misunderstood which one that Cobrun was talking about but the latter is no longer available.

I thought there was a thread within this past year about the Scortino insta-coiler tool. I can't find it. Anyway, is there someone these days making them? I'd like to get myself one if at all possible.
