14/2 Cloth Covered

[mobiledynamics]

Off topic. Rehabbing a vintage toaster..

Have you guys even seen cloth covered 14/2 wire ?
Not finding alot of places that sell this gauge

14/2 cloth covered wire may be hard to find!

You could try contacting Sundial Wire

Also, try searching "high temperature" wire - if the toaster's old enough it was probably asbestos insulation. Newer "high temp" is asbestos free, but still should be used in that application. There are also high temp crimps if your toaster had that type connections... Steve

Heater cord is the term you're looking for.

I did search via keyword of "hi temp heater line cord

Mainly pulling up the tape we put on pipes to keep them from freezing

Why not get some high temperature appliance cordage? The 105° rated wire?

I did a quick search and fabric covered lamp cord is readily available, but didn't find anything in 14 gauge. It may be out there, I just didn't see it. Another option is getting a piece of empty fabric sheath and sliding it over a regular 14 gauge cord, places that deal in wiring harnesses for vintage cars sell it. I found one source on eBay: https://www.ebay.ca/itm/USA-5-16-X-...-COVERED-WIRING-HARNESS-COVER-US/163265115989

I assume he wants the old style fabric stuff so it looks correct on a vintage toaster.

Correct Stuart. Even picked up a old NOS bakelite plug

Hi temp wire was not even on my radar. If I was to just call it quits, got plenty of SO cord and plugs on hand

Now that's a good option

Needs a vintage plug as well. They sell them.

You might want to post your question on this forum for antique radios. There are a lot of folks doing restoration of old electronics, and they will know which suppliers carry what you want.

You might want to check out Vintage Wire & Supply. They carry all sorts of cool stuff.

While you're at it, check out Sundial Wire. I've bought from both places and have been very happy with product quality and service.

I didn't see any 14 gauge wire on the vintage wire and supply website, but sundial does have it and they sell it by the foot in several different styles. http://www.sundialwire.com/14-gauge.aspx

Bingo! Glad one of them came through with it.

Sundial has yet to respond to my email. They offer a 14/2 cordset. I literally asked them (is this 14/3 cord but you guys cut the ground flush) or is this 14/2 cord (since I don't 14/2 on the site).

...does it matter?

Anyways, this is what they say "Cordsets using 3-conductor wire are offered only with 3-prong plugs and those using 2-conductor wires are offered only with 2-prong plugs. "

Call Emmett, he will have it.

I don't think he has Email.

For what it's worth, the pictures on their site show a three prong plug on the end of the cord.
