Now, I am really curious what sort of nickel plating they are using on those inductors :-)

I suspect he buys the wire on large spools, has some sort of winding machine to form the raw coils, then melts the plastic insulators onto the wire.

And now... I'm wondering whether it's possible that his wire might actually be tinned copper, and not nickle-plated?? Perhaps he's called it "nickle-plated" simply because words failed him when it came time to write the description/ad and that's what came to mind??
