Hi Zan,
I always just used any magnet wire I could get my hands on.  The wire you 
describe sounds really nice!  Any thin magnet wire will be just fine.
I tend to just find mine on E-bay.  Just search for magnet wire.  They even 
have #24 silk covered these days!!  But any "modern" (not silk) industrial 
magnet wire will work fine.
I tend to pay about $7 per pound new and around 1/2 that from E-bay, but 
the prices vary a lot...
Cheers,
        Terry

Hi everyone,
     The magnet wire that I am thinking about buying is dual film 
insulated with polyurethane and a polyimide (nylon) overcoat. It is 24 
AWG and is going to be used for a 4.5 X 24 coil on PVC. Is this the right 
thing to be buying? If not could someone please show me where to find the 
right stuff to build my coil?
                Thanks,
                Zan
