Phil Nutting,

There's a trade association called: Electrical Manufacturing and Coil
Winding Association. Their website is http://www.emcwa.org/

Within their website is a membership listing:
http://www.emcwa.org/members/98mem.htm

I don't know how up to date it is since the listing is dated in 1998.

Another potential source is to contact this coil winder vendor:

        Rich Goodwin
        Sales Manager
        Gorman Machine
        7 Burke Drive
        Brockton, Massachusetts 02301
        Telephone: (508) 588-2900

I saw this vendor at NEPCON-East. He might be able to help you with finding
a source to do your coil winding or to help you solve you winding problem.
What little I know about it is that the process is extremely tooling
dependent. If your tooling is worn, or if bobbin is damaged, you may run
into this problem.

Good Luck
