Hi Terry
Tried the gravity tensioner trick for wire

Pass wire thru medium weighted object between spool and form. keeps constant
tension as long as weight does not hit gnd. I use cotton tied to the weight
to keep it form moving along the wire too far. Done well this trick saves
lots of effort keeping tension on feed to coil
