The problem was finding a coiler form long enough.

I found a few coils I bought from Gateway in St. Louis some years ago. They were slightly too short. So I spliced the tubes together with a reinforcement. Fortunately the splice won't interfere with the windings.

I have shut down for the Thanksgiving weekend. Thanks for looking. I will rewind the transformer early next week and see how it performs.

This might be an ideal application of the 'aspirin trick'. A super handy technique for stripping fine wire without damaging it. Scroll down to posts# 26 - 28.
