Art,
I have only used your winder with the counter once, at the Kibbie. I didn't use the reverse count feature. Because I back off only a few turns of the winder handle, I found it easier to just count the backoff turns in my head.
If a mechanical counter were available, I would prefer that the most.

If I use it, or make it availabe to whomever wants one, I can also eliminate the toggle switch, which is $3. So it would make the winder (or the kit) around $18 cheaper. Also, it has a replaceable battery, which the Trumeter hasn't.
