Hi John,

You can rely on Coax Connection and Joe Cassata - he's a reliable and
rapid wire supplier who will sell you virtually any type of round magnet
wire by the pound. He can get regular, heavy build, or triple armored
insulation in a variety of temperature ranges. I've used Joe as my wire
supplier for over 7 years and have had consistently good results. I'm
also fortunate in that I live only 15 minutes from him, however, Joe
also does a thriving mail order business. 

Tell him you're building a Tesla Coil, let him know the gauge, type of
insulation, and the number of pounds, and he'll provide it for you very
quickly at a reasonable price. Let him know your a Tesla Coiler or a mad
scientist - Joe really loves Coilers!!  BTW, guess who's "magnetic pinch
machine" Lindsay is referring to in that same ad...  :^)    

Best regards,
