Hey Nicholas...First I would redo the calculations with some very close measurements. Actually measure the OD of your secondary tube, measure off 2" of windings as close as possible and count the number of turns ( should be near 47.25 TPI). The difference of even a 1/4" of dia. can throw off the total linear feet needed to complete the coil. If your Secondary coil form is 4", you shouls have gotten at least 19" of windings with 910' of wire, since you seem to have only gotten 17.5" thats about 840' of wire ( 16% missing). After measuring and recalculating and you find that you do in fact have less than 1000' by at least 10% missing, then a complaint would be feesible. Another thought would be to let the list know who you delt with so we wont be shorted by the seller if we are to consider purchases from him/her/them.

I bought 24 AWG wire from an eBay dealer named Jim Whyte. He has thousands of sales already so I figure that he's legit. My purchase was supposed to be 1000' of 24 AWG copper magnet wire. I got my shipment within the allotted time. I began to wrap my secondary coil. I was going for 20" tall, 4" diameter. After hand winding all the wire, I measure the wind and find it to be only 17.5" long. After some crude calculations, I found the total length of the wire to be about 910'.I emailed the seller to get a new coil of magnet wire, and he assures me that he sent me exactly 1000' and won't be sending me another coil. What should I do about this? Should I contact PayPal and dispute the order? _______________________________________________Tesla mailing list Tesla@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://www.pupman.com/mailman/listinfo/tesla
