Default Dipole advice?

Hi
I got myself an old Alpha Delta DX CC now, it is old, very green. coils look
green also.

I want to rewind those coils or even rewire the entire thing.

This is the 82ft no trap 80 through 10 dipole. Also includes 12, 17 and 30.

Any advice from the group? I see the coils are using a much thinner wire,
new ones look nice and copper, this one is very green.

What size wire can those coils be? Can I just continue the copper length for
the 80m leg and instead of separate copper winding just use the same copper
and wind it around that winding core?

With the coil is the critical factor its length or number of coils?

Any advice from the group is greatly appreciated
