Roy,

Thanks for the info on the rewinder, and the tips for workign with 
enameled wire.  I will file that for future reference.

Yes, I do need to secure my coil repair somehow, just not sure how yet. 
  Easiest would be to re-wrap it in something like friction tape, which 
is very much what was on it originally.  Epoxy seems too permanent in 
case it needs attention again.  RTV might be good, but it has the acetic 
acid carrier which is probably not a good idea.  The original cloth wrap 
is still there, maybe I will just gently close that up and tack it 
closed with a bit of epoxy or some other glue.

73,

D.
