Re: [TCML] Secondary Coil

[Frank <fxrays@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Ebay can be a great source for wire, just do a typical search like ** 
AWG Wire where ** is the wire size.

I compare prices with this site: 
http://www.electromechanicsonline.com/default.asp?cat=Wire%2C+Magnet 
or this site:http://www.planetengineers.com/ as Ebay is not always a good deal.

The web sites are nice and you have a wider range of insulation 
options and selection of diameters.
