Doesn't everything get fairly long if you are wire wrapping?
coldfiremc:
Well. I have "logistical" problems, because shipping is more expensive than the items itself. Also, providers like PE connectors do not distribute outside US (i'm from chile so...). I previously bought stuff from europe (east end west) and had "better" shipping rates. Most of this stuff is stocked in north america

The buildings are taller, but there's still only one level. Thicker PCB.

Compared to breadboarding with 22AWG jumper wires, it is way more streamlined and less prone to error. This why I suffer the extra time to wrap. It saves headaches in the end. You can make all your wire wrap jumpers tight as a guitar string. That plus being so thin, you can easily see where each connection goes. It just takes more time to remove it and fix it, but that's the easier part of the equation vs debugging/diagnostic.

This is from the Phoenix Enterprises FAQ section:


--- Quote ---Q: What about the International Orders?
A: Canadian online orders may be processed if your credit card supports AVS. Canadian customers are responsible for any duties, taxes, customs brokerage fees. Other countries: please contact us with your requirements for an order with quantities and the country of destination. We will respond with details as soon as possible.

Elsewhere, they imply they accept orders from outside North America, just possibly not online. I would ask them about typical shipping charges: they may have a special deal with a part of the U.S. post and shipping oligopoly (because markets!).

OK Machine and Tool Corp. made a nice combination tool, wrap, unwrap and strip, WSU-30, about the size of a small "tweeker" screwdriver.  I literally have used it for stripping,wrapping and unwrapping thousands of wires, still have it and still use it.  I haven't checked to see if OK is still around, but thought maybe you can find one of these on Ebay.  If you need a picture, let me know and I will take and post one.
