Re: [TCML] comment about new coilers

Listen guys, if a coiler has an issue it will usually unfold "after" the purchase when the coil isn't working. We will all attempt to derive the reason. I personally don't want new coilers to purchase junk TC items (ever). I would rather they ask before they buy, but this is a step completely in the hands of the coiler. As soon as they ask, they will get the info needed.
I personally have not made purchase mistakes in my coiling and the reason why is because I consulted the TCML first. I've been coiling for a while now, but I still am green on many things. Should I purchase something (even after several years of coiling) which I feel I don't have a good handle on, I will consult the TCML first. Experience or time with coiling is certainly valuable, but none of us knows everything. This is just one major reason why the TCML is so valuable. 

Take care,
Bart

Hi Miles,

I don't get your point.  I don't think there's a one among us, myself included, who early in our coiling experience, hasn't spent money on something that ultimately proved to be useless for coiling.  How is it we're making it too easy?  There's no doubt that Scott has learned about what kind of NST to use.  I believe that the replies to his post have included scientific explanations as to why the current NST is unsuitable.  Teaching science is what this list is all about!

I had this kind of problem a lot with new coilers on e-bay. They thought
they were so smart to buy solid state neon sign drivers instead of
usable non GFI NSTs. Somehow, as a community, we are making this too
easy. New coilers especially those who do not listen, will make mistakes
just like everyone else. Let them mess things up for awhile, and
*learn*, just like the rest of us do. Isn't teaching science important
anymore?
