Black plexiglass? Circuit board? C o m e O N ! !
Circuit board?? Now that wouldn't be exactly a novel material to fashion pickup bobbins from, would it?...

Polycarbonate from CD's. At a nickel apiece, not a bad price.

I hope you're using old records that were bad music and not tearing up old Beatles records for bobbins!

Rest assured, I only use unplayable records hehe.

Polycarbonate would be better; you could pot in hot wax and not have the bobbin melt. You can even get black ones if you want.
