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?

I have a 1959 metal spool of #20 AWG wire which is at least single cotton
covered, but I don't think the innermost covering is cotton. Unwinding
the outer green/white threads shows something else underneath, but it
doesn't unwind; it has to be scraped off, but it is NOT enamel. The
spool is 4 inches wide and the wire is about 1.75 inches thick; I have
no idea of the total length, but the total weight is 6+ pounds.

If you think it might serve your purposes, make me an offer. Don't
forget to include shipping (plus something to reimburse me for storing
it for 44 years!-)
