So John, you like that CCI disc over the Matsui?  I'm still making my decision on what to start one.  Sounds like Matsui is great but CCI is greater so far.

Skip right to the CCI discharge bases. Never look back. It's that good.

You can use Matsui's pigment and matching system until CCI's is available.
There is scarcely anything in the world that some man cannot make a little worse, and sell a little more cheaply. The person who buys on price alone is this man's lawful prey.

Who would have thought it was going to be this tough to source the wire locally.. :o

I prefer to spend my $$ locally so been calling all over town and not a single elctrical nor specialty supply has this stuff on the shelves. They can all order it but then they quote me at 3-4 bucks a foot to get it. I can get it from up north in LA for $1.80 a ft. At least that's still in CA.

that's funny, usually the local places around here beat Grainger, which is right down the road.  I'd rather spend money with the locally owned shops, and sometimes they beat the heck out of grainger.  Like $30 for a 30A 3phase breaker vs $125 from grainger.

I don't shop at grainger period!

#1 they aren't local and all money leaves the state and goes back to corporate anyway and
#2 their prices...  :o are you kidding me.

I'm going to get it from the place up in L.A. as they are the only ones who seem to have it in Cali and on the shelf.

Check out Johnstone Supply. They have San Diego and Escondido locations.
What I don't know though is if you can find accurate pricing listed because they kinda changed to listing retail , at least in some catalogs, even though they only sell wholesale.  You will have to establish an account,  but it's no biggie.

I don't often shop grainger, but when I need something, they have it.  I could call around and try and find a specific motor or capacitor, or just call up grainger and have it waiting for me and put it on my account.

I prefer to keep money local, but at least it stays in the US, the parts are the same parts, mostly made in China or Mexico.

Grainger is a customer of mine though. ;)

So I have to direct some of my shopping there.  More than local, i try and support those that support me.

Good high temp wire rated for 800 degrees with fiberglass and mica insulation will run $4-$5 per foot even in bulk.

Grainger has high list prices to keep every Tom, Dick and Harry out. If you deal with them daily the prices are hard to beat. Most of the time when you deal in volume your account manager will price match.  Best bet is to find someone who has a large account, ask permission to use it and pay when you pick up to get the best price. Another great service they have is after hour and weekend emergency pickup. If they have the part at the branch they will open the doors for a flat fee of $50.

Try commercial kitchen supply/equipment shop.

That's where I had to find my hight temp ring terminals.  NO ONE else had them... the commercial oven repair shop had them and for cheap!
