Thank you Richard, by verifying that wire repairs to secondaries can
be done, if as you said they are made with care. This should also
mean that if one is not able to get wire long enough for a complete
secondary that IF done carefully, one should be able to solder
multable shorter lengths of wire together to make the required
length, wind it onto a form and properly insulate and have a workable
secondary. BTW it was also enjoyable hearing about old Nemasis, is
Nemasis still around or has it been scrapped?
Sincerely
