Found out the cable I got is this type you were discussing in an old thread back then. Pre bond.
It was screaming quality from distance.
Super excited I found out how it's called.
Talking about wiring from PT & filter caps to PCB, what option should be the best?
Western union splice/double heat shrink tag strip, terminal/screw block, wirenuts or other?
Knowing that :
• My PT's leads are common copper stranded for HV (PVC ins.) & "two strand" twisted solid (fiber kind of ins.) for 15V windings
• I'll use that quality pre bond double ins 22 awg wire
• Don't own a proper ferrule crimping tool & never liked the idea.
Old good 60/40 Fluitin & Magnastat lover.
The wires will be soldered straight to PCB. I'll remove the PCB terminal blocks I had used when I first built it back then.
Pros/cons
• was about to use western union splice but then I realized PT leads are stranded & two twisted solids.
• tag strip/eyelet/turret is what I'm using right now but the tag strip board I'd used was sourced from eBay (those cheapo yellow phenolic ones) & noticed tarnishing on eyelets.
It's pretty hard to source new quality ones here. More easy to find "true" old eyelets etc in fleas / e-waste but I'll have to be patient.
• EU terminal block. If pre bond wires can safely go in there (screw connection) & ferrules are not necessarily needed then I'll go for it.
I've been reading on this since two days. Unable to make a clear decision. Hopefully I'm not planning to open G9 again for a long time so I want to be sure.
Any ideas?
