A smaller electronic up/down counter is Electronic Assembly's EA 2022N. They can be obtained from Mouser:

Jusr search for EA2022N.
They had cost about $27 each with shipping in the Fall of 2009 but I see the price has about doubled. So, I guess that miniature electronic counters will go the way of miniature mechanical counters and disappear while getting very expensive.
One cheap way to count input winds (up only) is to use a cheap pedometer (such as the $1 kind at Dollar Tree) and rig up a switch to the internal pendulum contacts. This works for me and many others.
