McMaster Carr has magnet wire in many sizes enamel coated as used in coils and motor windings. Not a real hard job just takes a little time including the removal of old wire and counting the amoumt of turns. I remember my dad rewinding a overdrive selonoid in the early 1960 and after it was rewound the overdrive worked as new. Having been around coil and stator winding just keep everything clean and coils tight and you should have no problems. Take pictures as you dismantle and make notes to duplicate the end result is like the orignal.
Its not rocket science just take your time should be no problem.

Yes, rewinding a coil would require solid coated wire. Sorrry any confusion. I didn't catch the horn coil part of the first post.
