DO NOT buy magnet wire form Paramount Wire Co., Inc. / CBC Metal Supply
http://www.parawire-dot-com/
I bought a 2 lb spool of 26 AWG wire from them and it turned out to be only 
1.7 lbs !!!
Just so ya know - you can ask for 700 feet of wire, but magnet wire is 
usually sold by the pound. Im sure they will be happy to work out how heavy 
700 ft of wire is for ya. And another thing, You can use heavy coated 
magnet wire, but single build seems to work good enough for me.
