Specs of Early Joe Barden Single Coils

6/8/2006 12:40 PM
Owen	Specs of Early Joe Barden Single Coils Anyone know what sort of output these had, types of wire and magnets? Was it a blade magnet or polepieces? I can't find much info on them - or even when they started being produced and stopped being produced. Your expertise is much appreciated!

The dimensions follow.
Joe Barden is back in business again and you may want to contact him directly <http://www.joebarden.com>

Bridge Blade:
2.375''wide, .734''@center, .0625" thick (16ga.)
magnet 2.440"length x.255"wide x .175" thick
probably C5 ceramic

total inductance:
2.420 H @ 1 kHz
2.401 H @ 120 Hz

Rdc=4.436kOhm @ 69F
estimated winds per coil: 2400 winds #43 single build

Note that the bridge pup blade is shorter than the magnet because the neck pup is angled for blade stagger.

Neck blade:
2.125" width, .7315"@center, .0625" thick
magnet 2.125" length, .222"wide .222" height
probably C5 ceramic

total inductance:
2.491 H @ 1 kHz
2.477 H @ l20 Hz

Rdc= 4.125 kOhm @ 69F
estimated winds per coil: 2475 winds #43 single build.

Blades are electrically connected under the magnet
by copper foil, attached to bare wire ground.

The Ultimate Tone, Volume III by Kevin O'Connor

Have you ever wondered if there is a better way to build a Bassman, Champ, Plexi, an 800, AC-30, Bulldog or Portaflex? Or you wanted to build an SVT with off-the-shelf parts? How about a master-volume amp that doesn’t change tone with the master setting? Everything you need to know is right here, including: proper grounding techniques, wiring methods, and mechanical considerations. Eighteen chapters cover the “iconic” amps everyone knows and loves, with schematics and layouts for each, along with the technical history of the product. Eyelet-board and chassis-mounted tube socket construction is used throughout, for easy servicing and modding. TUT3 is very accessible even if you cannot fully read a schematic and is a "must have" if you are going to build an amp for your self.
