About five years ago, the cheapest source I found for new motor wire was
Allwire.  They are on the net (www.allwire-dot-com) but their web page doesn't
show much.  I haven't ordered wire from them in years, so they may have
changed their focus- they might not even make enamel wire any more.

Well what do they sell by then?  The foot?  Fixed-length reels?  Who is it?
Are their prices reasonable?  I'm looking at needing 5000 - 6000 feet of
12ga motor wire and was going to buy triple-build, but if you've got a cheap
source for quad-build, I'd like to look into it.
