If you're going to Golborne Sam, Mike Barker invariably brings a load of scrappers - often good chassis, speakers, OPT etc, but the cabinet is past it, the back missing and dial cracked.
You've been, so you know the score. It's only a few weeks away, so it might be worth holding off till then.
As to the weight of wire needed for a re-wind, really, it's a bit academic realy, because if you have to buy the wire, the usual supplier is 'Wires&Co' (Scientific Wire Co, as was), and as often as not, the offer 50g or 500G. 50G wouldn't be enough, so for example, 500G of 0.1mm (42 SWG) olf solderable enamelled copper wire is 14,307 Metres per KG. Hence, a 500G reel will be 7,153 Metres long - way over what you'll need. (£11.58 +VAT).

Hope that helps a bit.
