Did some quick measurements with my caliper and it shows 0.15mm wire on the high ohm side and 0.3mm on the low ohm side, the thicker wire is wound closest to the center. (https://www.vintage-radio.net/forum/...1&postcount=10)

The information is from documents called "Test specification for oscillator output transformer" and "Test specification for amplifier input transformer" and these were used for checking of manufactured transformers so they adhered to manufacturing specifications.
