    what about the ali wire you get from wires you stripped thats not copper coated tin is that considered ec wire or does it have to be a certain size?

    so far i have two tv degaussing wires that are ali what a dissapointment that was=( one is heavy but still its white. i have some copper thats red and some other colers does that count as bare bright?



    i wanna seperate it be4 i take it in. tv yokes the copper is that #2?

    last time i went to the yard the guy gave me #1 copper price and it was not the size of a number 2 pencil is there a reason for this and also what i thought was #1 it was romex and he said it was bare bright?

    is it strange that they go back and forth like that? i just wanna get things straight so its not confusing.
    Aluminum that is copper coated PAYS aluminum (so put it with AL)
    AL is AL - - call it as you want
    Yes Many TV's have AL degaussing it was kinda rare 8 years ago , but now the Tube TV's we Curb Co find are at the stage when TV Tube types
    were at the production end being replaced with FLAT's

    Copper from TV yokes are not bare bright Some yoke copper is Red - Green - Red and Green basically a coated copper and #2

    Stripped Romex is #1 and often a yard guy will take as BB ,
    some times depending on the mood of the worker,
    depending on quantity can be the deciding factor.

    To put in perspective
    IF
    #2 is $1.80 per LB
    #1 is $1.90 per LB
    BB is $2.05 per LB
    I have found I just let the yard get there way once in a wile
    I ain't fighting over $5 any more .
