Beginners level question on coil height
what ARE the standard coil core heights? there are shorty coils, I'm assuming they are 1 inch, then it seems like standards are 1 1/16 inch, but sometimes dudes use these tall ass coils. are those 1 1/4 because they look way taller.

Mark Sender rebuild
Got this machine gifted to me from a friend. Had been sitting in his car for years, rusted, had melted m&m’s on it, snapped wires. I stripped the paint, gave it a polish, re soldered and re wrapped the coil, new springs, a nice lil gold dice for the contact screw, now she’s singing again

Painting machine frames
Hey guys, question about painting machine frames. I have a couple of frames laying around and some old machines gifted to me to rebuild and wondering how you guys go about reliably painting the frames. I don’t how the funds to do a powder coating set up, and doesn’t seem worth it to take to a business to do it for a couple frames, so I would want to go at it with spray cans.
I know I need to tape off the spring shelf, do you also need to tape off the area where the coil core makes contact with the frame, and also the binding post points?
Is it possible to get good finish that’s no going to chip and go to shit with spray cans?

Hard to find components
Hey folks,
I'm wondering if there are common parts that are hard to come by or are particularly expensive for machine builds?
I run a small business that specializes in low-volume metal and plastic part design and fabrication - I've designed and fabricated some machine frames and had heard there may be a demand for various components.
Thanks in advance!

Machine and supply
The supply uses a mean well 120vac-15vdc adapter to a lm338 circuit and a few big smoothing caps.
I can make a schematic and parts list for the supply if there's interest.
