I agree, if it can be spooled off by hand, put on their gloves and do it.
Fig 8 is OK but if you have enough room to just pull it off in a straight line, it goes faster.

If it's too broken to sit on an axle and rotate then I can see why they
wouldn't want to play with it.  I'm feeling salty today, but for thousands
of dollars worth of cable they should suck it up and do it anyway.

My only question would be whether to figure-8 the whole thing onto the
ground or to take a side off the spool and try to slide the whole coil onto
a pipe.  Either way, proceed to wind it up onto another spool.  Fancy
machines are all well and good, but they ought to be able to put some gloves
on and spin the new spool by hand.  Or bolt a pipe flange to the wood if
they need a handle.

Subject: [AFMUG] Fiber on bad spool

I have some 144 fiber that is sitting on a wooden spool that is rotting
away.  Apparently this spool is in real bad shape.  I'm waiting on some
pictures to see how bad.  Guys are telling me we are going to have to
abandon all the fiber.  I hoping to try to re-spool it to another spool.

Any tips or tricks?
