a bit strange question about the reverb

[alkuz1961]

Hello everyone,
Perhaps by chance there is someone here, who have anyone experience repairing reverb tank? I want to find out how many turns are located in the driver coil. I have a tank, which I want to use, but it turned out that the driver coil has a resistance of 150 ohms, but I need to use 8 ohm.
I have repaired various reverbs and restored broken leashes many times. But I didn't have to fix the coils. I know how to disassemble and assemble the mounting parts of the tank, and I can wind a new coil for this, But I need to know the number of turns and the size of the wire.
I would appreciate any information about this.

8 Ohm has 124 turns, but I don't know the wire gauge.

Thank you very much! This is a good start! I have another reverb, and I can look at the diameter of the wire in it without unwinding the coil

I wound a new winding and it works as I expected. I used 0.22 mm wire (31awg)
Thank you again !!

If this tank repair is not to be done in regards to keeping a vintage amp vintage, then I can't see how the time spent to rewind that coil is worth not getting a new pan for under there normal 35 buck cost!

a. to learn
b. because new stock reverb pans are all garbage right now and fail at an atrociously high rate

but that's just my guess.

The problem is not the price of the tank. It's just that they're not on sale in the place where I live, not at all. The choice is between 15 minutes to wind the coil, or three/four weeks of waiting for international delivery.
