Where can I buy some small wire ( about # 28 to 30 ) that has the enamel
type of insulation that can be soldered and the heat will melt the
insulation ? There was some on ebay I bought that did not seem to work.
After checking it out, it seems that it needs to be heated to almost 400
deg C and when I tried that, it did not do all that well.

Google for 'solderable magnet wire'. Amazon has some, Adafruit has this:

I'm using 350°C iron and pushing the cut wire end to the solder blob
nicely removes 1-2mm of coating.( Don't breath the smoke.)
