"look for a company selling a better product (it could even have been made in the same factory, but to a higher quality specification)"
Lesee, three thousand for airfare. Say a grand or so for hotels, six seven hundred dollars for chop suey, rice and fish, a few hundred for taxis, and don't forget to tip the interpreter...
Totally blind are purchases. Total mysteries, are parts purchased until packages are opened and items tested.
Sellers HAVE NOT A CLUE as to what they are peddling.
But aluminum MUST BE tin plated, not tin flashed, not passed by a building where tin cans sit on a shelf, but plated and copper wire that interfaces with tin plated aluminum should be tin plated as well.
How much does it cost to tin plate a hundred million meters of 24 gauge wire?
This is and was meant as a heads-up to not asssssssssssssume that silver colored wire is tinned plated copper or aluminum. Check and verify...Bare copper to bare aluminum is a really stupid move...
