Greg: I'd like to add to what John Freau said...my new coil uses green wire
because I just happened to like the way Morawa's coil looked when I began my
current coil.

The source I gave you (Paramount Wire in Orange NJ -www.parawire-dot-com) sells
good magnetic grade green wire. Make sure you do not look at their Art/Craft
wire and think you can use it. Stay on the magnetic wire page.

I miced the insulation and it is a heavier than usual coat as well.

Safety First

Greg,

I don't know if your wire is the same, but John Morawa used
green wire on his excellent coil with very good results.  I have
a link from my website to his where you can see his coil.
