I have 1 ea 25ft spools of NTE brand PTFE 26 AWG hook up wire in black & red. P/Ns WT26-00-25 & WT26-02-25 that I just got from Action Electronics.

I'm offering 4.5 ft of each color to our newcoming DIY'rs. 5 slots available. I used a bit, not sure how much, so the the 5th person will either get a bit short of 4.5 ft or a bit over.

Requirements: You must be a registered member for at least 1 month & not older than 1 year. So lets say you only qualify if you registered from July 2008 to June 2009. You must also have at least 20 posts. May I ask you do not participate if you are not going to use the wire. I don't want this to sit just around & not get used which is one of the reason I'm giving it away. Please don't participate just because it is a freebie & let those who will actually put the wire to good use & appreciate it get it. :poke:

For those of you that are wondering, I'm giving it away cause it's not the same stuff that I like. I bought the same NTE wire years ago & just ran out a couple of weeks ago. I purchased the same wire type from the same vendor but the wire is not the same as what I had previously. If you must know the strand count of the wire is not as high as what I'm used to. What this means to you, probably absolutely nothing but I'm picky, even with the wire I use. :ohgeez:

First five to post "I'll take it" & meet the requirements get it. Absolutely free of charge, shipping included. Sorry US only please (see post #8).

6 slots 4ft ea., last person +/-
1. nfetterly - Shipped
2. mikevelarde (Shipped to nfetterly)
3. jsmitty1967 - Shipped
4. NeSSuS-GTE - Shipped
5. saltytri - Shipped
6. ejot - Shipped

Just giving back to the community as you guys have taken care of me when in need.

Oops, I made a mistake in the requirements. I stated July 09' to June 09'. :ohgeez:Should've been July 08 to June 09. It's corrected now.

EDIT: mikevelarde, so that means you are qualified if interested.

My apologies, while I'm not one of those who refuse to ship internationally, I must limit this to US only. To ship internationally I must wait in line at the PO which would take up much of my lunch break & not worth it for this. :(

Thanks a lot DZ for the generous offer. but I lived in the Philippines and my CONUS friend that will tranship the item to me is MIA since end of June '09 (direct shipping those wire to oversea will be such a hassle!!)

Still I have to say:bow::bow::bow:!!!

I don't post much so I doubt very seriously if I have 20 posts. However I am new to DIY and am planning to build a couple of Aleph LEs. If you feel I qualify for your genourous offer I would very much appreciate it.

Thanks,
Jonathan

A fantastic offer! Only on CPF have I seen generosity of this caliber!

I have been starting to get used to melted wire insulation on all my light builds. I had considered quite a few times buying some teflon wire to avoid that problem, but I always kept my budget tight and never did it.

If you believe I qualify for a slot, I would graciously accept your offer! :thumbsup:

Here are some of my recent contributions:

4000+ Lumen Test & BridgeLux LED Review

IMR MagIII Experiment - 19.7v 200w

I've received addresses from nfetterly & saltytri, the rest please PM me with your mailing addresses. I'll try to get these out in the next day or two. :wave:

jsmitty, your wire has shipped.

No response from the other guy so the last spot is up for grabs. PM me your address if interested.
