And yes, when I bought them it was in bags of 24
each. Along with
1000 foot spools of Susan Clarks (Clark wire & cable in Chicago)
star-quad mic cable. There is no other like it, soft, pliable /and/
long lasting. Belden's version is hard shelled, so hard it telegraphs
into the connector and breaks itself off in 10% of the time it takes
to break the star-quad.
Haven't used Belden's quad, but have you tried out Canare's? L4E6 is
remarkably cheap, as in cheaper than non-quad cable for many things and
I have had very good luck with it here.
I used to save a lot more jacks etc. than I do now.
Even on a tight
budget however these days it is often a much better idea for me to get
new cables two-day shipped via Amazon from a knock-off (GLS Audio is
remarkably decent for the price, even with knock off Neutrik
connectors) and keep a stash of Neutrik connectors on hand. I keep
spools of cable on hand only if I don't have time to order the cables
so I can put one together in a hurry.

Amazon, which I do occasionally use, did not exist back then.
I did get, I hope, my problems with ebay/paypal cleared up this morning,
but like breeding elephants, lots of kicking and screaming both to get
their attention and to get the proof (it just works) the next time I try to
buy on ebay. Those folks are a certified PIMA to deal with, they never
make a mistake (it says here). If they never make a mistake, then I've got
that famous bridge, now in Sun City AZ for sale...
Cheers, Gene
