Yes. Somebody needed to say that it needs to be rewound completely rather than repaired - which is the normal inclination for most of us.
They used adhesive or wax or paper that was corrosive. What I find interesting is that by overwhelming odds it is always osc coil #2 (appropriate now that I notice ((#2)).
The last one I did was 4 or 5 years ago. I think that I made notes in my Riders'. (As has everyone that has owned the set, 1-20). I find these notes VERY valuable. Did you see the note left on the Stratosphere page? It is in the blog post.

Wondering if I did it backwards.
If a coil was wound backwards, the oscillator would not work at all.
