Interesting.
Having no local jobber in my area, I have purchased from Remington Industries in the recent past but they only stock 20 gauge wire in 300V insulation. 600V insulated wire in 20 gauge, with its thicker insulation, more closely resembles old rubber-covered wire of the type used in old Philco, RCA and Zenith radios. However, I have found that 20 gauge wire with 600V rated insulation is next to impossible to find - for some reason.
Yes, I could use, and have used, 300V rated wire instead in these sets, but I don't like how thin the insulation is - it seems that it would be very easy to accidentally nick and potentially cause a short.
Paul, sorry for hijacking your thread.
