"Tape wound" refers to the core, not the wires wound on it.
The core is wound from thin, funny alloy (square loop), metal,
looking a lot like a roll of electrical tape. Give up; there's
mo way you can get your hands on a quantity of the tape for any
reasonable amount of money. Last time I needed tape wound cores, 
the raw metal sheet was $70.00 per pound, 1000 pound minimum,
and that did not include slitting to the 1/2" width I needed.

Good luck, Isaac     isw@cup.portal.com
