Will,
Been there, done that. I have rewound a Franceformer 15/60, it is now a
14/300. Works good! I started winding it by hand on a home built winder that
I made out of  MDF shelving. I was guiding the 30ga. wire by hand, but found
it too difficult to keep the winding even and not overlapped. I designed an
auto-feed that was driven directly from the spindle that I could adjust the
speed of the feed by changing drive wheel sizes. I used a third wheel in
between the two drive wheels to reverse the feed. It's designed loosely
after Terry Fritz' winder but without the fancy computer controls. If you
build one, skateboard bearings work good for all the rotating parts.

Later,
Sparky
