I have to get the 44 awg wire and I'm thinking of using kapton tape to wind on. I don't have the tape either. Money is super tight so this one might have to go on the back burner. Good news is the secondary winding is in excellent shape. The primary is dead. So I mapped it out and it's 21 turns of 44 awg magnet wire. Hopefully after I get the wire and the tape it will go well.

 I'm also going to have to retrofit a speaker temporarily because someone has re-coned it before and was sloppy with the glue and I removed the speaker and destroyed the cone. I have something that might work until I get a correct replacement (again $$$$). Good news is the OPT is still good so there's that I guess.

You do not have to use Kapton: buy a bottle of fabric glue and simply put a thick layer to fix the turns.morzh — 04:04 PM
