I have an Adams A2 pickup winder: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T1ErV9maQA0
I wound a humbucker and it came out fairly good. Then it sat in my basement for a couple of years until I decided to wind some strat pickups. The counter on the winder no longer worked. the battery was soldered and glued to the board. By the time I got it out the board was wrecked. I got around it by winding and then measuring resistance, but that is a real pain. I couldn't find an exact replacement, but that is no longer a concern because I now have a Dremel and can enlarge the mounting hole to accommodate a larger digital counter. Unfortunately, I have no knowledge in dealing with digital counters or fixing pickup winders. Are digital counters pretty standard and will just drop in or what is it I have to know to do this?
