Default Re: Coloured stripe connecting wire and miniature coaxial cable?

I've got some part reels of RS striped cable, grn/or, blk/wh, or/blk. Also have some bits bought off Keith's TV years ago that are like the traditional Tek/HP stuff. I admit to finding Tek colour coded wire hard to read especially as it's usually mucky. "Is that red/white or red/dirty yellow"?

In my own builds I use red for HT or highest HT, orange/black 350v, orange 300v, blue bias or -100v, green heater, black ground. Although I have a good selection of coloured wire I also use re-claimed wire out of old 70/80's gear like synth's, VCR's etc. ATX supplies have a few different colours in too, usually 600v rated. Finally my last washing machine yielded loads of good quality copper strand.

Andy.
