I've never tried to rewind a field coil.
If you have a Harbor Freight store near you, I would suggest you buy a micrometer from them. Then you can determine the size of the wire by measuring the original, and using a wire table which can be found in many old radio/electronics textbooks (and probably online as well), and convert the diameter to the proper wire gauge.
I picked one up a couple years ago to assist me in rewinding coils.
Oh, I looked in my notebook where I keep my notes on various Philco coils, and I don't have any data on the 20 coils so it appears I've never rewound any.
