Good point regarding internal vs external arcing. Though if the fly does end up being bad with no easily found replacement, I think I'd source some fine wire and try my hand at rewinding it just to say I tried. If it works, bonus
Maybe overambitious but my 4068 track record of 1 for 1 at rewinding doesn't exactly deter me yet.
