RE: [TCML] Slow progress.

Yes, I agree that using super-heavy gauge solid wire is awful to work with.  1/4" refrigeration tubing is MUCH more flexible and kink-free.  While Litz wire is the ideal primary conductor from an electrical perspective, it cannot be tapped to adjust the inductance.  The same is true for " small gauge multi-conductor cables".
