Some have written to me in reference to my question, so I'm repeating my
post from week before last. As far as I know, you cannot buy 8 conductor
rubber jacketed cable at Lowes or Home Depot. I called some local elec
distributors. They said they could get it, but that there was a min buy.
So I was very happy to find some nice 8 cond cable at a reasonable
price. Although this is not 100% authentic, it's much better for an old
milsurp installation than modern alternatives. Here it goes again: (again
Some nice 8 cond X 16awg SO cable. It's .625" OD and very nice stuff. I
just bought a piece to use on my BC-223 with leftover for another
project. I'm thinking I might even buy some just to hang on to it. It's
not that easy to find rubber jacket cable any more.
I have no connection to the seller except as a happy customer. I was
referred to them by Pete N8PB.

Search for Mfg P/N A007 or SKU 40973. It's $1.75 a foot. Web page says
50ft min, but don't believe it. I bought 13 feet for $22.75 + $8.55 S&H.
