Would you have any desire to rewind a M1634E coil from an early 40 series Villiers magneto?

Unfortunately I'm moving house tomorrow to start my first job since graduating, which means I'll be losing access to most of my tools and lathe (and most of my free time :cry: ) Until I can build up my own ...

Thanks :) I haven't measured the voltage output or the plug gap and max gap. I don't think it will be as high as the original coil due to not getting the 100:1 winding ratio, but it's enough to spark. The plug that's in it was the same one from before it was repaired, cleaned in vinegar.

Apparently ...

I've just recently rewound a villiers coil after stripping back the original windings. Hopefully, with no shellac to go bad and corrode the copper, it should last for longer than the original.
