[Elecraft] [OT] Kit Builder Question on Toroid Inductor Winding Wire

[Jack Smith]

Depends on the  volume you need. I recently bought several pounds total 
of different colors and gauges at about one-third the price of Mouser or 
DigiKey from James Whyte at magnetwireusa at embarqmail.com

He also sells on E-bay or you can contact him directly for a quote on 
what you need. It's all new wire from Essex and comes on spools.

You want the type of insulation that is melted by the heat of soldering. 
It goes by various names but generally is 155 deg C insulation, 
sometimes with a overcoat which is known as type SPN.
