Pricker wire

I just got some .008 in piano wire for pricker wires. Only problem, I had to order a reel. Thats about 1000 ft. At 74 years old, I don't think I will use it all. Anybody need some, send me a SASE and I would be glad to give you some. 1807 White Post Rd, White Post, VA 22663

 

0.008 of what?

 

0.008 inch, like guitar strings (a 008 string)

 

—> 0.203mm.

Cheers

Tony

 

I use acupuncture needles for pricker needle repair.
These needles come in different sizes.
E.g. 0,16mm for 250cp.
100pcs cost less than 10€.

 

It just struck me that .0008mm would be 0.000031 of an inch - a very small jet indeed

 

0,203 is good for 500 CP? For example petromax 826?

 

@Alenstein A Petromax 826 has 300 or 350 CP, and the jet orifice should be 0.19 mm. A Petromax 523 has 500 CP and the jet orifice should be 0.23 mm. The "big" types with Rapid blow torch preheater are 828 (300-350 CP) and 829 (500 CP).

 

I have got it on the board but never remember...
