250' of old 12/3 for $15 - Great buy or rip off?
I just bought a 250' roll of 12/3NM for $15. The trick is that it is really
old. The cable bends back and forth nicely without anything happening to the insulation, but the box is crumbling. Is this okay to use, or might age have done something to it. Yeah, I know installed 40 year old cable is just fine, but this will be bent up some during installation, so it might not be the same thing. Anyone know? They had a second roll, but I don't think I will ever go through this one. I just sold 420' of 14/2 (for $85) because I had a major wire surplus from garage sales; I just can't resist a deal. |
