Hello Ed, Coilers,

I should have been a little more descriptive about the picture wire I
mentioned in my earlier post.  What I have here is almost a litz-like
type of wire, with about 7 or 8 strands of very fine wire woven into
a bundle which overall is about number 20 gauge wire.  It's flexible
and I'm sure would have no difficulty in passing around the pulleys.
