[ARC5] Seeking Extinct Wire

[Frank Barnes]

Dave, I have a roll of Litz wire that looks just like the top and second
photos in this website:
https://www.facebook.com/groups/ElectronicParts/posts/2603574879831831/

My roll does not specify the wire size ( stamped label numbers are faded)
but it is very, very fine.  Made in Nottingham, England!  I got it years
ago from cleaning out a warehouse.

There is a lot of it on my roll.  Probably a hundred feet or much more.  If
you want it you can pay the postage and I'll mail it to you.  I'll never
use it.
