Area59' "NOS-Wire" PAF SET
We was able to find real vintage AWG42 NOS wire on wood spools. This wire was build in the 50's by Essex in the USA. Hidden more then 60 years anywhere in a shelf...now we bring this wire alive and we will build a Limited Number of Area59' 1959' PAF Set by order. Those Sets will build to order, Customer can chose color combination of bobbins, ageing option and Cover Option...Deliverytime is around 6-8 weeks. All Sets comes incl. certificate. The old wire was made by Essex/USA and compare to new wire the color of the NOS wire is slightly more purple. Note: DC resistance tolerance +/- 5%
NOTE: The K value isn't the mainpoint about the sound of a PAF, the DC resistance is the key. NOS wire vary in thickness so K-Value vary!
All PAFs wound with the same turns of layers per bobbin all the time, they different in thickness which is vary much more compare to today wire gives you different K values.
NOTE:This is nonaged PAF Set you can add options, like ageing and covers additional, see Options on this side!
