Hi folks,
My situation is very much the same as Robert's, 2 or more rcvr/p.s.
pairs, only one cable. But it's in fairly good shape, with the Fanning
strip on the rcvr end, at least.
I also would like to hear of a source for the strips, but without it, I
do remember watching cables made up for production units on a wooden
board form with nails for ends & turning points. Spade or eye terminals
on the ends, a 90 deg turn along the line of terminals, with lacing
twine when all in place on the form. Didn't really need the Fanning strips.
73,
Al, W8UT
