    Thanks for taking the time to itemize everything like that J
    I also strip the degaussing cable. As you said, its easy and I love to see the bright copper . I would just make sure you're not neglecting other more important things to strip it.



    Electrical tape is somewhat dense since it is made out of some type of plastic/finberglass. Note the two weights below

    You loose about 63% of the weight by stripping. On 20 pounds of degaussing cable

    20pounds @ .90 = $18.00

    After Stripping

    7.4pounds @ $2.95= $21.83

    A difference of about $4.00
