A selectively rotatable wire reel unwind assembly is provided including a plurality of conveniently and compactly arranged reel mounting positions, a readily controllable, rotation resistive, wire reel unwind unit, and a sliding, position selective, wire guide unit. The reel unwind assembly comprises: a rigid unwind assembly frame; a rotatable unwind assembly post mounted to the unwind assembly frame and rotatable about a postal axis of rotation; at least one reel mounting unit fixed to the assembly post and including a plurality of reel mounting positions, the reel mounting positions defining a plurality of reel axes, the plurality of reel axes lying substantially in a reel axis plane, and the reel axis plane being oriented perpendicular to the postal axis of rotation; a reel axle positioned in a corresponding one of the reel mounting positions; a rotatable reel unit coupled to the reel axle so as to be rotatable about the reel axle; a rotation resistive surface and a reel unit mounting mechanism arranged to vary a degree of resistive contact between the rotatable reel unit and the rotation resistive surface; a wire guide track incorporated in the rigid unwind assembly frame; and, a wire guide unit slidably mounted to the wire guide track to permit movement of the wire guide unit in a direction parallel to the postal axis of rotation.
