Tone-Wright Revolution 1951 Leo Fender Tribute Scatter-Winder

Up for sale is an incredibly rare, bench-built Tone-Wright Revolution, a premium mechanical winding machine engineered specifically for luthiers and pickup builders seeking authentic, vintage-spec 1950s single-coils and humbuckers. This machine completely bypasses modern digital shortcuts to faithfully recreate the true mechanical movement, tension variables, and organic scatter-winding behavior of the early Fender era.

This unit is part of a strictly boutique, limited run of only 5 to 10 machines worldwide. It has been meticulously assembled, individually bench-tested, and is in pristine, mint condition.

🌲 Premium Chassis & Woodwork

• Chassis Base: Solid, heavy 2-inch thick premium Ash block that provides maximum dampening and a rock-solid foundation for stable bench work.

• Accent Display Plate: Beautifully figured, 700-year-old Sinker Cypress wood plate, cut and fitted to provide a gorgeous finished wood accent that perfectly matches the machine’s boutique aesthetic.

• Finish: Hand-rubbed with premium Odie’s Original Oil/Wax for a smooth, natural satin feel that highlights the wood grain while offering robust shop protection.

⚙️ Drive System & Vintage-Spec Motor

• Motor: High-torque, vintage-spec 1/15 HP Dayton universal motor. The drive orientation spins precisely toward the operator, allowing for a traditional bottom-spool wire feed and unmatched control during hand-guiding.

• Pulleys: Heavy-duty, precision-bored aluminum drive pulley.

• Controls: Configured with a premium, full-size 500k speed control potentiometer capped with a classic Stratocaster tone knob, paired with a heavy-duty "Deadman's" normally open (N.O.) foot switch switch pedal for instantaneous, safe speed regulation.

📊 Pure Mechanical Counter & Winding Action

• Scatter Mechanics: Completely independent of modern digital encoders. It utilizes an authentic 1951-style mechanical push-rod counter assembly, which introduces an organic "pull-jerk" motion. This mechanical variance slightly shifts tension mapping and wire tracking as you build the coil, delivering the exact open, airy, and chimey "Blackguard" tonal profiles of the golden era.

• Mechanical Counter: Features an authentic, highly reliable vintage Reed mechanical counter to track your exact turn counts seamlessly.

• Bearings: Oil-lite bronze sleeve bearings are precision press-fit into the solid wood bearing pillar blocks and structurally reinforced for a lifetime of smooth operation.

• Electrical Safety: Clean, simple two-wire isolated electrical loop rewired with a brand-new heavy-duty two-prong power cord.

If you are looking to build true vintage-accurate pickups with authentic harmonic complexity and an open sound profile, this is the ultimate tool for your shop bench. Securely packaged and ready to ship.
