NexGen: The Lab: Wire-Wrap Bonanza!!

30 Aug 2022

I was at one of the local electronic stores where I have bought some Wire-Wrap_® parts in the past and I wondered what if any they had left. I ended up with a boatload of 16-pin (Samtec¹) & 18-pin(Augat 14F3318) & 20-pin sockets (Augat 14F3320²). Plus two large spools of wire Marmon Aerospace 128SOFU1422-BRN & 128SOFU1422-GRN both are Silver Plated + Oxygen Free Kynar; plus I have an unopened spool in the box of black as well. I think I paid a grand total of $20.00 for all of it. I expected to pay about $100.00 for the treasure. I guess I have a lifetime supply now!

That's a great bargain! And really nice sockets. That price would barely provide for a small spool of wire here.

Thank you for the offer!

I've got a random mix of wires I need to get through currently, before adding any more : ( Otherwise I would definitely have taken you up on the offer, since that looks like 30 AWG wire, which is excellent for prototyping.

Most of these spools were bought ages ago, and now prices have shot up.
