  having priced enameled silver wire, I have considered doing this with bare silver. You need to layer wind and then use a monofilament (or insulated copper wire) with about 40-50% of the wire diameter to set the wire pitch.

    There is a guy in Greece... Petragavis? over @ DIY whom winds his own for 801A's {16.3 primary... @ 530 volts biased with 1k, rather hot don't you think? whom uses NO varnish but did not elaborate as to how. Stated he chose that scheme for sound, not for distortion.

    Yes Sir, Dave; I paused to include the info above but was too lazy to go looking for proof as some guys would think I was talking out of my hat.
    
    The zinger was for Tube Wrangler and Jeff so they might understand there are better ways in our hobby to achieve results.
