[AMPS] HV Wire/retubing Henry 2K

[Steve Bookout]

Don't know how many will agree with me, but for years I have used
automotive ignition wire for my HV stuff.  I use the 7 or 8 MM SOLID core
wire.  Years ago I bought a 100 foot spool and am still using it.

It's good for 30 or 40 KV or some high number.  Obviously, still use every
safety precaution you can think of.

Works well with the Millen HV connectors recently mentioned here on the
reflector.
