Alphacore Goertz MI1 and MI2, unterminated, various lengths

Further Information: 

Hi, this is some Alphacore Goertz MI1 and MI2 speaker cable, unterminated. It’s mostly been sitting on the shelf for the last 20 years, I did use it for a while with leadouts just soldered roughly on, but between having amps that didn't like a capacitive load, me not knowing about Zobel networks, and going fully active, I mostly didn’t use it. Now I've got Speakons on everything and this is just not going to work with them...

Time to pass it on.

The wire has been damaged in some places which I have foolishly shown in detail in the photographs, but assuming you cut out the damaged parts you should end up with the following lengths:

MI1: 140, 65, 25, 25 cm

MI2: 415, 325, 80 cm

I figured this would be good to make a pair of 3m+ cables and use the short lengths as an internal wiring upgrade for speakers. (?) Let me know what you think (even if you’re not interested in buying it!) The trim parts shown in the second photo are included. (I'm fairly sure the boots are not heatshrink, and I think the tubing probably is but I'm not going to test it, so no guarantees.) 

Also, you will want to read about Zobel networks. Rod Elliot has an excellent in-depth examination here: http://sound-au.com/cable-z.htm

I’ll cut off the daggy ends to make packing easier. Pickup or buyer pays shipping.

Considering a new 25ft (7.6m) length of MI2 would cost about AU$500 plus shipping from USA, I think this is probably a fair price.
