Hey guys,

I was getting ready to toss out two old PC's that where gathering dust and decided to open them up and see if there was anything usefull in there. Wasn't much, but I removed a lot of wire from them. After being my OCD self and sorting them by color and gauge, I ended up with this:


There's a whole lot of AWG18, mainly in black yellow and red, and some AWG20 and AWG24, all mad by the Zhenshen Wire Company (aaaaah, those guys!.........?)

Do you see any reason not to use this for building pedals? Apart from the AWG18 being a bit big and unflexable, that is.....

For the most part wire is wire. In our applications we don't need to account for certain aspects like voltage, heat, current. I've been doing this too for awhile now and it always work well for me  :)

I might have mixed up my Z's and S's, so it could be!  :D
