It doesn't take much time to make a cable - it's just not as fun as building
DIY circuits and modules. There are different qualities for various types
of shrink tubing. I use a Steinel heat gun, since the shrink temp for the
colored stuff is too high for a hair dryer to work. I figure I'm saving
roughly 50% over the cost of pre-made cables.
If you get prices for Wacky's cables, could you forward them on to me?
Thanks!
George

Well, I'm definitely not looking for more work than necessary. Just
thought it would be much cheaper and a simple matter (ie. less than 5
minutes/cable).
Out of curiosity - does the shrink-wrap require a heat gun or will a
regular old hair dryer work?
Paul, if you find that phone number for Wacky I'd be interested...
Anyone know approx. price for a single 3" Wacky cord w/ 1/4"
connectors? I realize the price probably goes down as qty. ordered
increases - just looking for a baseline.
Thanks,
John
