Wire question (with pics) condition and guage

The black on the wire reminds me of the effects of Chinese drywall. We installed a air handler in a very nice home last year because the 4 year old unit sprung several leaks. That drywall is bad stuff. One year later the new unit also now leaks.

so after I strip it, I can seperate the 7 individual pieces, then its No 1?? So will No1 get down graded due to discoloured??



Thanks.
