You're probably better off just stripping the insulation off some AWG14 or AWG12 solid "house wire" if you need a real low buck primary.Original poster: FutureT@xxxxxxx Michael, For a small coil you can use the coax for a primary. There will be some losses but not too bad. I used to use it at one time. You can remove some jacket at some spots here and there in areas where you think you need to tap. THen you can attach an alligator clip or other clip around the wire at the bare spot. You may lose 5% spark length (maybe) using coax depending on the coil's exact design, etc. John
