[Amps] Fillament choke

[Dave M]

Well I guess I got the answer I was hoping for , no good reason other than conveiniance , since I will be using the GI35b and the filament amperage is only 3.5 amps or so I will use #14 enamel wire and as many turns I can comfortably fit , thanks again guys especially for the patience , I suppose some of my questions have been and will be pretty simple to the more experienced like yourselves

Thanks and
