Didn't Vector have a system that used tefzel-insulated wire called
"Slit-N-Wrap" that used a wiring pen with a little spool of wire on
top? I've seen tefzel wire offered on eBay, but it always seems to
be tinned, not silverplated.
Yeah, I remember those ads. "Slit-N-Wrap...don't Just Wrap and
wonder if the post cut the insulation". They were competing with the
Just Wrap product, which is self-explanatory.
