   I'm going to buy about 30 feet of ribbon cable (the flat kind) and I don't really want to tear apart my current perfect-condition wires just for the brick-ends....Anyone got a couple (oh, say, 14) wire end bricks?

         Re: Anyone sell Electric wire ends? —Rob Limbaugh
     You can then get a much cleaner cut on the plastic if you remove the electric strips first and use a razor saw to cut the plastic. (I've used a 2x4 bricks as a makeshift jig). It's much easier to cut the strips this way. As long as the electrical (...) (21 years ago, 17-Sep-03, to lugnet.robotics)
