RE: How to butcher a choke in 8 easy steps

I've found gorilla glue expands and secures the whole thing well. I like what you did here better than how Jeff does his.

I would not recomend this to anyone however at least you soldered to the magnet wire.

I found epoxy didn't work well. As I recall I had crackling sounds as the epoxy was hard and the mechanical buzzing of those chokes would cause noise with the movement of the epoxy. Kind of scary actually. LOL

Just don't cut up any nice 18lbs Heyboer PTs or leadouts on nice output transformers. At least a choke you are only out ~ $25.
