Hi Murphy, thanks for the tips.
I bought some 2.8mm wire for the secondary and am nearly half way through getting the turns on.
I am thinking of using flat rectangular wire for primary, and what I saw at the shop would suit the parallel arrangement fine.
It would also make it easier to connect tails to connect to the power board.
My core is
180mm OD 90mm Id and  100 mm high.
I will check the current when I get it wound.
The place I bought the wire from said that they can dip the transformer in their varnish tank and bake it for me when I have finished. I will do that.
Thanks
Pete
