Subject: Wire clarification

From: "Paul Schreiber" <synth1@...

Sorry, I'm not thinking in a linear fashion today!

I ∗have∗ wire. The issue is that all the stripping/tinning/twisting
is machine done. It is ∗quite difficult∗ to strip RG-174 coax. It's a
tricky process:

a) strip off outside insulator to the braid
b) using a sharp pick, carefully "dig out" the inner conductor
c) tin the braid
d) strip off the inner insulator to correct length, then tin inner wire

The machine does all of this in about 600ms.
