I think 410.5 is the place to start

Yeah, you still get it here too, but the price is _real_ steep! Here, that's some of the cheapest stuff you can find!!! :eek

What??? Would you consider EUR 3.20/meter cheap? If the US stuff in the picture is indeed new it even looks better than the German stuff I saw (in the old days that stuff was available in only a few colors and the new stuff doesn't even come close to matching the old colors).

Well....the places I've priced it at sell it for less than that. I think it's about a dollar a foot.
More expensive than plain twin-conductor figure-8 cord, but not quite THAT expensive.

I think I might have messed up but 1.275 dollars a Euro, times 3.2 euros= $4.08 a meter, 3.28 feet in a meter, so $4.08/3.28 equals about $1.25 a foot in Europe, not that much more expensive

Yup, Elviscat is right. Not that much difference. Cheap cords used to be considerably less than 1 Euro/m, i.e. less than a third of the cloth stuff. There must be a lot of overhead in the price of the cloth stuff since it's been the same for at least a year, whereas the price for off-the-shelf wires has doubled.

And last time I checked, open cleat lampholders were hard to get and somewhat pricy. They're available at any Lowes or Home Depot for only a couple of bucks. Ditto local hardware stores, you can easily find them there. I think I have two in plastic and two in porcelain. I wonder what they'd be used for now? Guess the exposed terminals come handy when you're using it as part of some home-made test equipment.
