Re: Wire tension
Dick,  
 
As well as Tony's clothes pegs another simple idea for variable tension is glue some felt to two large washers, perhaps an inch diameter, with small holes.  
 
Arrange a small bracket in line with the coil wire path.  
 
Using a inch and a half 3 mmm screw and wing nut together with a compression spring (strat height adjustment spring is ideal),trap the wire between the felts pads.  
 
Tightening the wing nut increases tension and vice versa.  
 
Simple and effective!  
 
Andy
