I intend to start stripping a couple of toroidal transformers soon in readiness for a single larger transformer solution. So starting that is still probably a few weeks away. Thanks for the help offer. Where did you buy your new winding wire from - I am assuming it was local in Adelaide somewhere ? Yes, gremlins  ...  and I'm glad it's you and not me. I wouldn't stand a chance.   Many years ago I bought a lot of copper winding wire from OH O'Briens in Adelaide. When I looked to buy some for the warpverter the first place I found was Advanced Thermal Supplies. 30 Pope St Beverley SA 5009 Ph. 08 8244 4411 I don't know how much they sell or who else might be around but I was surprised when they told me they don't 'despool' the wire there  ..  they get someone else to do it for them  ...  so you have to specify the wire size and what weight you want  ...  then they send it off to be despooled. Now that I've written that all out  ...  I wonder if they even keep any wire there themselves and simply buy it in from elsewhere on receipt of any orders. Regardless, each time I ordered some it only took an extra day and they rang with an exact price so I could pay via EFT and then they sent it up by courier. At least for you, you could make a trip across town to pick it up . Good luck with the new code.
