DLO Cable First Impressions
DLO is a universal label for "Diesel Locomotive" electric cable. I am very picky about the cable I use. First of all it has to be true size wire not SAE sub-size. Rope stranded which means the threads...

I think you meant skycraftsurplus.com. Skycraft.com is a hobby craft site or something.
If you ever get to Orlando, save half a day to walk around in electronic/mechanical heaven.
Affectionately called Skycrap by locals.
They buy scrap and excess inventory from area electronics and manufacturing by the ton and sell to the public.
I worked for Stromberg Carlson back in the 80s (elec tech) and when a product line was redesigned or end of lifed, employees werent allowed to buy it, they would sell it to Skycraft for 10 cents a pound.
IC's, end of reel wire, 19"rack, discreet components, power supplies, huge heat sinks from switching power supplies, stepper motors, 200A relays; it didn't matter.
Much of it military grade stuff.
We have Harris, Martin Marietta and many others.
Its a treasure trove for the tinkerer.
Teflon insulation is good stuff too. Hard to work with but wont melt.
