You probably don't with to rewind the primary but if you have a burning desire to do so you'll need a 1/2 wood dowel some small wire like 38-42Ga It takes about 120turns wound nice and flat/smooth. After you wind that use some duco cement to glue it in place. Secondary is wound over the primary same size wire about 40t cement too.*******************************

I'm sure the coil had failed because it was open. The wire I used to rewind is a close as possible to the original wire on the coil.
