I have a 1000' spool of black silicone Belden HV wire out in my shop, somewhere. I always preferred the Belden to any other brand of wire for making probes. Ever find it and its in usable condition..Id buy 50' or so off you. O.K. I need to haul off about four truckloads of recyclables before I can get to it. I haven't been in that part of the garage in several years. Not since the last time my dad moved, and left a bunch of stuff in there, 'temporarily'. With poor Mikey's feet, that may take him awhile. cringe Just keep it in mind. Id love to make up some leads of several colors using decent lead wire. If you're in more of a hurry: I picked up some of that 18ga Chiwanese silicone lead wire from the Amazone and it's pretty nice. Red and black, 3M each, $3.89 delivered in under 2 weeks from HK. http://tinyurl.com/hnagumn -- Doctors prescribe medicine of which they know little, to cure diseases of which they know less, in human beings of which they know nothing. --Francois-Marie Arouet Voltaire, about 250 years ago |

Being a tight wad, I looked at Ebay and Aliexpress , and found that Aliexpress was a little cheaper. And bought some 20 gauge as well as some 18 gauge wire. Dan |
