[QUOTE="kubusi, post: 767920, member: 19010"] Just a thought, have you any contacts with motor and/or transformer rewinders? Surely they must have partly used spools of all gauges lying around that are insufficient for big jobs and most likely ends up as scrap copper. For myself personally I use differrnt gauges of copper wire mainly for winding my own RF chokes and RF coils as needed. I have a small supply of enamel, silk and cotton covered wire dating from the days it could be bought on 2oz reels. To replenish my supply I salvage enamelled copper wire from redundant solenoid and relay coils that come my way. Another source of copper wire in the range of about 22 or 24 SWG I would guess is the degassing coils of old TV sets, be careful there they sometimes use enamelled aluminium wire, I was caught once, wound a small Tesla coil and then found I could not solder the wires.
