[Boatanchors] field coil rewind

OK folks, I have a 1940 E.H. Scott FM/AM Philharmonic which weights a couple
of hundred pounds - a boatanchor of a slightly different nature.  The bass
speaker, a 15 inch field coil unit, Jensen I think, has a toasted field coil
but the rest of the speaker is near mint.

Over the years I have seen references on the reflector to people who rewind
power transformers and filter chokes.  Does anyone know of a place or party
that rewinds or might rewind field coils for speakers?  In reality, they are
just filter chokes.  I have the coil out as we speak.  It is intact and has
one tap.  I am in-process of finding the DC resistances of each section.

Thanks & Cheers from Minnesota,

Gerry
