Its not that hard becaus the wire gauge is much thicker for the efficiency coil, so there is no worry of making a mess of the wires, plus there is no special winding pattern, just CAREFULLY follow the winding direction as you unwind the old coil so you can "recreate" the new one. I've done it before. Works perfect. Just be sure to use the original iron slug from the old coil.
Wow that's cool. I never rewound one. Was the current-dip point somewhere near midrange after the rewind?
