The other wire is fine and I can heat that connection to remove the bobbin and send to you if you want to give it a try. The wires are all intact and if you want me to determine the number of windings to save you time, I will do that and then send you it all with the bobbin. Dimensions are roughly 1.25 X 1.125 X .5 OD and .625 X .625 ID.

Let me know if you want to give it a try and I will send it to you. I would use a micrometer on the wire, but I do not have one here. I have two others that need winding and can send those along too if you think you can wind them. Really appreciate the help if you can!
Why did I never see those before? Thanks for the PM!
That should be a piece of cake. In fact, it's small enough and few enough turns that it could be done completely by hand. I'm betting there's no more than a hundred or two hundred turns on each bobbin.

I'd have to check the size, and get a spool of matching wire...way bigger than what I normally use.
