[CAUT] Sciortino Insta-Coiler

[Jeannie Grassi]

Hi  Jeff,

There were two different tools made by Joe Sciortino and the name
Insta-coiler has been tossed about freely for both of them.  The true
Insta-coiler sits on top of a tuning pin already in the pinblock and threads
a neat and tidy coil onto it by cranking a handle.  As far as I know, they
are no longer available but  I'd also love to hear if there are replacements
for any or all of the parts.  I've had mine for 30 years and it is one of my
most treasured tools.  I use if very carefully, hoping to have it for a lot
longer..

Hi all,


Does anybody out there use the Sciortino Insta-coiler? Do you have any info
regarding the inner cores and their availability? There was a thread about
this a year or so ago and someone mentioned a better designed inner core,
but didn't know if any more would be built. 

Thanks,
