    Description

    For sale is a new old stock spool of KANTHAL A-1 resistance wire, 36 Brown & Sharp gauge, left behind in the electronics components inventory of my late father, who was an active HAM operator for 73 years, and was a radio and other electronics serviceman for much of his life.   This spool was in a cabinet, in a dry, smoke-free home,   The box, however, shows wear just from moving around in storage (see photos).
    The weight of the wire on the spool is .87 pounds.   I find on line that one pound of #36AWG resistance wire is 16,447 feet.   I figure that .87 of that would be 14,308 feet.   I find also that current price for 1000 feet is more or less, and 14.3 times that is about 7.50.  At least that gives me a "ballpark" for pricing.   (Let me know if my math doesn't work out.)
    I hope that this is great vintage wire that you can use... new, and still in the original box!!
    Thanks for looking here!!
