Great minds think alike a former co-worker just posed the same thread.
Is 4 T winding copper or resistance wire of some sort? Quote:
I would expect a copper 4 T to reduce winding inductance and reduce gain at low frequencies.
A resistance wire 4 T would be more like a shunt resistor across primary or secondary. This could damp out a resonant point caused by transformer L and stray C. This would reduce audio gain a bit. End quote..
Tomorrow afternoon I'll try to figure that out... Right now I'd say that the wire is ordinary double silk wrapped magnet wire from the snapshots I'm looking at... Time will tell...
