It wasn't easy scraping the wire that I could hardly see.
This wire is also covered with what appears to be cotton thread, and I don't know for sure if it is enameled.
Actually the hot acid will burn the cotton right off too, leaving the wire clean as a whistle (after swabbing the residue off). And there's no mechanical damage from scraping the wire.

BTW, is the top coil the primary or not?
