Re: [Repeater-Builder] ROSIN banded in Canada custom?
Thanks for the reply, in the olden day we use Paraffin wax, Beeswax and Rosin meld it down on a Hot pot then dip the transformer for 5 min, The purpose of the rosin is to weather proof and also to increase the melting temp of the transformer, I did a google search and it all point to Asia country, or music store that cost a fortune. I can get one kilogram for free but just pay for the shipping. 73 W4CSO - Original Message - From: Glenn Little WB4UIV To: Repeater-Builder@yahoogroups.com Sent: Sunday, March 30, 2008 9:04 PM Subject: Re: [Repeater-Builder] ROSIN banded in Canada custom? Rosin is made from pine tar. It is organic, not man made. I do not know why you would want to impregnate a transformer with this. Do you possibly mean that you want to impregnate it with tar?? Your friend google will lead you to a source for your rosin. 73 Glenn WB4UIV At 08:54 PM 3/30/2008, Camilo So wrote: >I know its OT but it have something to do with repeater, I use to >rewind my own Transformer 40 years ago, now I have to rewind an old >Standard RPT power transformer,"urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" /> > >But I need to impregnate the transformer in wax that need ROSIN, and >have a friend going to Canada Toronto, they said that Canada Banded >rosin to inter "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:smarttags" />Canada soil? > >The reason "Canada" because the guy is going to visit his son, and >the son is a ham radio friend of mine, he said he'll mail it from >Canada to USA for me, > >I know the rosin was use by musician for the violent use, and the >priest use it in the church, > >Any reason this is banded?

[Repeater-Builder] ROSIN banded in Canada custom?
I know its OT but it have something to do with repeater, I use to rewind my own Transformer 40 years ago, now I have to rewind an old Standard RPT power transformer, But I need to impregnate the transformer in wax that need ROSIN, and have a friend going to Canada Toronto, they said that Canada Banded rosin to inter Canada soil? The reason "Canada" because the guy is going to visit his son, and the son is a ham radio friend of mine, he said he'll mail it from Canada to USA for me, I know the rosin was use by musician for the violent use, and the priest use it in the church, Any reason this is banded? If I use varnish for the dipping of the transformer, it's hard to take the transformer apart when it need to rewind for the next time. hope some one can tell me how to bring or buy rosin at a reasonable cost, the amount needed is about one kilogram. Thanks to all in this groups w4cso
