are you sure it's solid copper strand and not copper-clad aluminium?
Why you gotta go and pee in my Cornflakes? Actually, that's a good question. I am assuming it's solid-stranded copper as all the tiny strands are copper-colored. I DID have a few pieces of 8 gauge that were clearly aluminum or steel wire as the wires were silver. I threw those away. There was maybe 10 feet of it total.
Most of the speaker wire I'm trying to sell was sold as "Oxygen Free Copper" so I'm assuming that's OK too. I will find out tomorrow when I hear back from the recycling places. If they tell me "Not interested" then I'll just put the whole box out on CL. Way too heavy to ship anywhere.
Thanks for alerting me to the possibility that I'm hosed...I hate surprises. Now I can be disappointed in advance. LOL!
