Group,
I seem to remember a post a week ago or so that indicated that there was
barely enough wire to wind all five toroids (including the one for the 5
Watt mod..). I did not find this to be the case, although I didn't use
Doug's measurements in the instructions. My kit came with 63 inches of
enameled wire. I added up how many total turns I would have to wind and
divided the length of wire I had by that. The result was .7 inches per
turn. I cut the wire for each toroid by multiplying the number of turns
by .7 and they all came out perfect, even with nice long (1") leads *and*
I had a little wire left over (not enough to do anything with but I
wasn't short either). Hope this is helpful.
Also, I found the hole sizes on the P.C. board interesting. Looks like
it will be very easy to remove components from this board without
damaging it. I think the term is "Klutz Resistant".
Good luck on your kits.
