Some builders will place a sticker inside stating the # of winds.

Otherwise, its pretty hard to tell by looking, and I couldn't imagine you would really be able to tell what it was by driving it unless you had one to compare it to.

It's a restickered Integy. The arm should have a stamp on it or a mark of some type. If not, yer pretty much SOL.....as there is no way to really tell after that point, as without the wire and blank size, along with a control sample, you can't really measure the motor windings.

You could unwind it and count them that way.
