Philco Shadowgraph meter, the old style, coil removal
#2

Oh! C'mon! Once in a blue moon I am having a problem and everyone is as silent as fish!Icon_lol

Now, I've extracted the dang bobbin. Just needed to think a bit.

Now there is a simpler but insurmountable for me problem: winding few thousand turns of #40 wire (and taking the old one off first). And I need to buy it first.

Q: Does anyone know anyone(s) who rewinds bobbins? Small bobbins with thin wire with huge number of turns. I dread this. That is since I was 8 years old and started tinkering with electronics, the coil winding business was the sole part of it that made me shudder. In a nutshell, I hate it. I probably hate it as much as writing documents. Actually I hate it more. I write docs habitually.

I could use some help in that department. For a fee, of course.
