Coming out fine...I decided to go with 1 1/2 In thick and same 4 in length...:

Above pic shows the Six new ones versus the previous 1 1/4 In thick in the back...
I got the wire 14 awg...and am making all fiberglass spools plus making a center hole-thread to attach cores together, plus am planning to use my Lathe to wind them slowly one by one, so chuck from lathe will grab it from bolt...from a spool bracket I made a while back.
I am going to make three sets first (6 primaries plus three secondaries..so, still need three more that I will pick up tomorrow.
One thing I did was to measure resistance on whole 14 awg spool of ten pounds something...then calculate the total footage I have...and came out close to 800 ft.
One thing that I recommend is to do same thing plus measure your total feet on each primary...so you do not run short of wire...since I know we want to wind as much wire as we could on secondaries.
By the way, love that little machine you have to wind plus count...does it count ft or turns?
Where did you get it?
And related to my new PSU situation...I think I will be resolving that issue by adding a low (10) ohm power resistor of like 300 Watts on heat sink as a "Dummy Load"...which is much less of my total Wattage output to Exciter system I plan to use. (50VX5A=250W)...that way I believe I would be able to dial the required VA power with so low ohms at G and Primaries...let's see how it goes...parts would be coming next week Friday...I ordered like 4 Resistors.
Take care
