Ok I am getting a little worried. I unraveled the tickler winding.  I counted 26 turns which is in line with what I have been reading.



Underneath, the celluoid insulator (with the little tabs) remains.  It is stuck on there good!  I don't see any possibility of removing it without destroying the winding underneath.

Can I just leave it?

Can I wrap it with a piece of tape, then wrap the new winding on top where the old one was?

As Rosanne Rosannadanna would say "Never mind."

I used a little heat and eventually the celluloid strip cracked and broke off mainly in one piece.  The primary and secondary seem to remain electrically sound.  So I think I am in business.

Thanks,
