[Amps] 18 ga. enamel wire

[R.Measures]

**  Electric motor rewinding shops carry 180ºC-rated silicone-varnish/ Cu 
wire - which is sold by weight on your spool.  Bring your own winder.   
An electric-drill with a chucked-up rod for the spindle works ok.  - 
Note:  silicone-varnish is best removed with a flame, followed by ash 
removal with steel wool.
