Enamel removal from OT secondary wire--best method?

Post by ViperDoc »

I need to remove the red enamel from the secondary wiring prior to soldering on a Dagnall C1998 OT.

What's the best way to do it? Thanks.
Just plug it in, man.

Thank you! I saw a video on how to sand it off and thought, as much fun as that would be, really... :mrgreen:
