I have seen the devices to count the amount of revolutions at some older ACE
hardware stores on their wire machines.
Some just measured feet, others (rarer) measured amount of turns. Just
screw the transformer to the device, and roll the wire off. The plus is
that the old wire will be wound into a nice roll.
