[Public-List] Anyone Have a Source for a Transmission Cable

[George Dinwiddie]

Andrew,

Somewhere, I saved some information from the Atomic 4 list, several 
years ago.  Unfortunately, I can't find it at the moment.

The gist of it was that some place (Old Lyme Marina perhaps?) could 
create custom-length Teleflex cables.  I had worked out the appropriate 
part number, which specifies the cable size, length, and the end 
terminations.

Please share the information you find, as Calypso is due for a new 
cable, herself.
