So, need to repair a few field coils.
The speaker shop has moved and not accepting orders 'till some time in the fall.
The Sound Remedy don't do field coils.
I called other guys from the local list - they do not do field coils.
The guy from the Lake Hiawatha, John, so far did not answer. I left him a message again, but I still do not know if he does field coils.
Where do I turn?

There is someone in Texas who is highly recommended by someone on AudioKarma:
http://drfieldcoil.wordpress.com/
Disclaimer: I know nothing about "Dr. Field Coil." In fact, I had never heard of him until I did a Bing search for "speaker field coil repair."

I found his name yesterday when randomly searching for field coil repair people on some forum.
I wrote him a letter yesterday right there (through the form on the website) and am waiting for reply.
He was described as a person who knows all there is about to know of speakers.

I was thinking that one of the radio clubs in the South...possibly the Alabama Historical Radio Society...offered speaker repair and field coil winding, and that someone here had used their services?
But I went to the club website last night...no mention of speaker repair or field coil winding.
I must be getting old.

They in fact did my shadow-graph coil a year ago. Not bad, 50 bucks. Filed coil is a child's play compared to it.
If the Field Dr. does not get back to me, I will bother the Alabamans.

The Alabama Historical Radio Society rewound the field coil on my Model 70 approximately two years ago. The cost was approximately $50 + shipping. Prompt and excellent work. My contact was Dave Cisco. PM me and I'll provide Dave's address/telephone number.

Thanks, I have Dee Haynes and Dave Cisco contacts saved from that shadowmeter rewinding job. I sent them a message.
I could use Dave's phone - we spoke but he called me on my cell and I did not keep his number.
I will PM you.
Mike.

Dee answered me, said it is about 65 dollars to rewind.
Yes they do the whole speaker repair, soup to nuts.
