Re: secondary wire gauge, how much does it matter 26 vs. 35 awg

["Alex Madsen" <alexmadsen-at-netzero-dot-net> (by way of Terry Fritz <twftesla-at-uswest-dot-net>)]

There is currently nothing on ebay that matches the requirements for my
Tesla Coil.
I would need about 3 lb of wire. I can pay u in 2 ways:
1. I will trade you 4 lb of 26 awg for 5 lb of 0.015
cm ( 0.0056 in.) wire which = about 35 awg wire.
2. I will buy 3 lb of and pay 1.5 x what you paid + shipping.
I would rather trade wire but if you cant use it I will pay you cash.
Alex
