Hi Folks,
For those of you lucky enough to live within range of the Boeing Surplus store in Kent, WA and either doing some wiring in your bus, or thinking about same, now would be a GREAT time to mosey on over to the Surplus store and get some wire.
I've been visiting that store for years and I've NEVER seen as much wire for sale as now! Being a surplus store, it's feast or famine--with it having been famine recently as far as copper wire.
But now they've got lots and lots of high-quality, stranded copper wire for $1.25 per pound. (Remember, this is the stuff they put in the big, silver birds they build around here!)
I saw rolls and rolls of oil and gas resistant THHN, ranging from #6 to #14! Lots and lots of everything in between, with #10 being the most common. A rainbow of colors!
I'm done wiring, and have wire cluttering my garage from past projects, but I sure was tempted!
