They're right!!! I'm sitting here looking at a Trimm headset with the
frizzy wires and a big old Philmore phone plug... Actually, I have, in
the past, been able to "sort of" tin that type wire.. it burns off the
fabric content part. Only problem, its very delicate after all that. HI!!!

That's putting it mildly, never could get all those wires in that tip much
less get them to stay. RM~
