- Robinson-Nugent has made a similar product for years - and I bet it's a lot
- cheaper than 3M. About the only really high-priced item for this wiring
- system is the Teflon-coated wire. Check-out Viking Distributors in Minnesota
- for more info. And, even if it is a little more expensive than regular wire-
