I was wax potting some other pickups and decided to dunk the Teisco to see what would happen.  I took off the plastic cover and metal base plate, a very simple job of removing the two side screws.  The Teisco was suspended in the hot wax for about 20 minutes and I could see bubbles escaping for the first part.  The pickup winding induced feedback is now greatly reduced.  I can not tell any change in tone.

Next time I will pry a tape edge up just a little on each end where it's obvious the tape is not touching the wiring to make sure the wax will fully saturate the windings.

I haven't tried the big amp yet, but my Roland Cube 10GX could only induce the pickup winding feedback if I held the waxed pickup directly in front of the amp at full volume.

The vacume answer seems the best. I saw it in here on a feature article on using mini coil switches as pick ups. Very unique and brilliant idea.
