      I've posted about this winder in another thread, too, but it looks pretty intriguing:

      I'm sure it could be modified very easily to be run off a motor, given that the crank wheel has a groove in it for a belt.

      Price isn't too bad considering it does have a traverse built into it. The only thing that has me worried about it is the distance between the place where you mount your bobbin and the wheels on the traverse. From the pictures, it doesn't seem like the bobbin could be very large before it would hit those wheels. Maybe that could be modified, too...

      UPDATE: I just noticed that it does claim to be able to wind coils up to a diameter of 150mm, or just under 6 inches.
