This will tell you how many coils are in the winding. Then check the thickness of the wire with a micrometer to determine the gauge of enameled magnet wire you need for the re-winding. Take care, Gary
This method works well if the winding is just one layer. Typically the coils inside an IF transformer are multi layer and would be difficult to ascertain the number of turns. Good for rf and oscillator coils if there not too low in frequency.

Vol 1-50 admiring the old set and trying to
figure out what all those squiggly meant.
