RE: wire for secondary

the local electronics store is the problem, they got some stuff cheap but
others they do not go directly to the source, for anything, and have them
give you a distribitor, the only thing I do not do this for is for stuff I
have no clue on who makes it and it cheap at the local stores anyways, oh
another thing to try fopr cheap parts I got 2 door knob 40kv 3300pf from
spruge electric when they were still around for free ask for samples from
the manufature...

I had the local electronics store give me a quote on 22 AWG enamel
coated solid copper wire, and they came out with $75 for 7 pounds, 7
pound limit! So about 10 bucks a pound, if I could get it for $3/pound
I would buy it up.
