Boy Neil, I wish ya luck. The first problem your going to run into is getting wire that size in a small quantity. Then when it comes to rewinding a coil for a meter movement your talking some pretty hard stuff to work with. It’s probably somewhere around a #40 or #42ga wire, it could even be smaller than that. That is way thinner than a hair, bout like working with a silk worm. Even if your eyes are good enough to see that small of a wire, rigging up a coil winder is another ball game in itself. Coil winders have been the subject of hundreds of discussions on the radio forums that I've participated in for the past 15years. That's really delicate work; it takes a watchmakers skill to do that kind of work.
I'm pretty detail orientated and I've never been able to work with stuff on that small of a scale. I have several coil winders made for doing just that and have wound some antenna coils and the like but when you get over a #34 or #36 wire it's way out of my league.
If you’re successful please give us a rundown on your method. I for one would like to see how you did it.
