Hi All!

I have just discovered an excellent local resource - Percy
Hawkins Wire http://www.percyhawkins.co.uk tel 01536 523229.
They are the people who wind the spools of wire which RS
Components sell just down the road in Corby.  They regularly
have stacks of "reel ends" - the remains of big reels which
are left over from winding half kilo spools for RS, ideal
for the smaller coil.  Wire size from 1mm to 0,18mm (20 to a
bit under 36swg in old money) in copper, and for that
lightweight 50kVA magnifier coil, they will be happy to sell
BIG reels of copper clad aluminium, or aluminium (not sure
if the latter is enamelled) or for that matter, BIG reels of
copper :-) and half the price of RS.  Their address is
