Bobby -

Be careful what you buy ....... this supplier has sold magnet wire on eBay
as "hobby wire". I believe this is "reject" magnet wire that has defects in
the insulation (pinholes, out-of-spec insulation thickness, etc.)

With all the time and effort that goes into a hand-wound secondary, the
magnet wire is the last place I'd look to save a dollar or two.

Scott Hanson
