Is it really important to count the turns? I would think just being 
able to preset or reset to a known number would be good enough.

 From one who has never used a turns counter in a homebrew rig and 
may be asking a dumb question.

p.s. Yes, I shamelessly stole Will's reply separator because it was 
lots better than mine, although I did remove one extra space he had in it. :-)
