[sdiy] sources for wire

The one problem I have with salvage wire for me, it costs a lot more than 
just buying a brand new reel.  Time for me is in short supply, and having 
to remove wire from something else and then having to go through it to find 
a piece the right size, or long enough, just too time consuming.  Now, I 
will admit that in years past, I did do this.  In fact, somewhere I have a 
big box of Teflon wire that was thrown out at a place I used to work 
for.  I haven using any of that for a couple of decades now....

By the way, about 25 years ago, I bought 10 reels of #26 gauge  1000' PVC 
hookup wire.  I am still using that wire, to this day.  10,000 feet of wire 
lasts a long time.  And, if I remember, at the time it didn't seem like it 
cost very much.
