I have some andrews 1 5/8 coax, a 75 and 110 piece. No ends just the
coax.
Any takers. I am in Daytona FL.
Say $100 and $150 for them.

Notwithstanding all this, there are undeniably some junky, Chinese
ready-made cables out there. I bought a few from HRO, and about 20%
turned out to be bad. So now I will buy only the relatively upmarket
ready-mades (like Cable Experts). I notice that our local HRO seems
to be phasing out the no-name ready-mades; so I suspect I wasn't the
only one to have problems with them.

It's also worthwhile seeing what the cable looks like. A couple of years ago
I bought 100 feet of generic (Carol?) RG8 foam. Looked OK. Next time I
bought a 25 foot piece of the same brand with connectors. Well, when the
connector came off, I saw it was not the same cable; next to no shield.
