The other thing I did was look into doubling up the windings by adding a
winding from another MOT. The problem is that other windings either
don't fit at all, or just fit. The just-fit ones are really too tight
to use without damaging them. This is 30 ga wire.



Can you round the edges of the laminations to ease the fit and prevent
shorts?


That's a good idea, I'll try it. And I was wrong - this is 26ga wire -
still thin, but not 30ga thin.
