One of my customers, make the speciality insulating paper, used in all kinds of transformers, while he might marvel at the ingenuity, he would take serious exception to the use of plain cardboard.

LOL -- Yeah I saw that he took what looked like some leftover thick glossy poster paper to insulate the windings. Sketchy to be sure, but given the country, the purpose, and the market, these guys are pretty damn resourceful. They have to figure out wire gauge, winding turns, and power factor to produce the desired output at the taps for a given size machine. Pretty cool to see it done with very basic and mostly homemade tools. Found a vid on how these Pakistani craftsmen calculate the windings -- //www.youtube.com/watch?v=6za59nI4PPo
The starter reman was cool. Theres one on battery reman too. Kinda scary how they dispose of some of that spent stuff. Just toss it out in the roadway.
