yes then i successfully rewound it.
but then the beginning end of the secondary snapped to short to reconnect it......and that was unfixable in my current supply of wire.
when you are working with hair thin wires it is a huge pain.
so forcing huge amounts of voltage amplitude into the primary is a no no.
and seeing that i do everything by hand with a stainless steel tube..2 toilet paper rolls....2 coffee mugs.....and counting everytime i see a red mark come around......tends to get tiring.
well it's good to know that you should not input more then 100 volts amplitude into the primary...
