When I was winding it I was thinking "I don't think this much came off this spool, but if I'm short I really don't want to start over" I was shocked when I took a reading and it was a little over 1.9k.
Taking it off won't be too bad just want to wind it on something to save it for another project. I found a little 100 rpm gear motor that has the perfect shaft size for the coil "bobbin". What a monotonous job.

Morzh,
it's not "wirewound" as in a resistor, it is the wire wound coil for the shadow meter vane.
Here is a picture of the coil and shadow meter assembly from Chuck's website.
