    they probably only have those 4 colours as they 'were' the standard 3 phase colours 😉

    Those wires were solderable using soldering iron?

    The only copper I like is in my pcb 🤣🤣

    Throw the metal shavings in a flame. If they burn with a green flash they are copper.

    JST is not a connector type

    Definitely copper.
    You also can tell if it is tinned copper or aluminum. Aluminium won’t take solder.

    What is the thing with Julian Ilett on it I see in every video and I want to know what it is?
    Is it a flash light with your name on it?

    Thanks for loving my comment 🙂

    Does anyone know of any RF amplifier scheme to use at this Frequency Meter? Or do you know where I can find it?

    I like to have a good supply of both stranded and solid wire. That said, my pocket book is in the stage of frozen for awhile due to some financial setbacks. So when i found myself in need of stranded wire, I dug in my back room which serves as as storage room now, and found an old CAT 5 cable which had the head broken, and stripped the outer insulation off, and had my multi-color stranded wire. When examined, it proved to be very high quality wire of good copper material. When the need for solid wire arose, I found an old length of inside house wire, removed the outer covering and I had 6 colors of solid copper wire, again of high quality, all much better then what you get from China. For smaller construction needs, I have used old SCSI cables, again very high quality. When the need arises for lacquered copper wire, I hit my box of recovered wire from transformers and inductors taken out of old burned out or obsolete pc power supplies, I think I still have a dozen or so back in my storage area that can be torn down for more wired. As a matter of fact last week I went on an antenna building spree, used some old cable Tv cable to make a 103 inch CB Base Station Antenna, and used some recovered copper wire from those power supplies to make a 1/4 wave outdoor antenna for my 2 meter Ham radio. So I guess the old saying, "if there is a will, there is a way" still applies to old farts with little funds.
