[TenTec] OT zip cord

[Charles Harpole]

Thailand in-houses wiring to sockets is standard #16 dual

wire.  Only recently have they put 3-wire in homes.

The other day, I saw a welder being run via a 60 ft. 

length of  #16 zip cord.  I left before seeing if it melted.

Why not buy some of that $100 per foot MONSTER WIRE

sold for speaker runs to uninformed people.....
