To the best of my knowledge, the last "high-volume" use of DCC wire was
making cables for pipe organs. The pipe organ guys used it because you could
treat it as pushback wire, and that saved time due to the many thousands of
connections and conductors a typical pipe organ contains. The last
manufacturer was, I believe, the Philadelphia Insulated Wire Company.

This stuff was getting very hard to find around 1980, I have no real reason
to suspect that it is made at all any more. But, I am sure that there is a
lot of it laying around. I just don't have any!

Double Cotton-Covered ("D.C.C.") Do they still make this stuff? I would
like to obtain some for winding RF coils for homebrew radio receivers.
Anybody know of a supplier or maybe have some on hand?


thanks,
