Yes, £1.25/Metre (No VAT to add). It comes in 17 colour options and I was able to get all seven colours that I need for the wiring loom on the Ekco A77 that I'm restoring (at a snail's pace!). You'll know that the loom connects the PSU/Speaker etc to the Receiver chassis, which sits above it. It looks very similar to the Ekco original wire, which has of course faded down the years. I'd had to devise a colour scheme to use Phil Marrison's excellent vintage coloured silicone rubber wire which isn't available with tracers as shown below, but I've now ordered a metre of each of the colours that I need from Mullard Magic. If it does indeed fray at the ends, I've got some silicon sleeving that I can fit over the ends, so I'll see how it is when it arrives. (I do now want to press of with the A77 - I'd had it for 35 years before I set about it!).
Regards, David.
