Is spaghetti still around?

All the places I've checked only seem to stock heatshrink now. Jaycar were advertising it a while ago, when I checked that was heatshrink too.



Does anyone know a source for 'real' spaghetti, ie. the cambric type?

** DSE used to sell packs of assorted sizes as W4040, I still have most of one pack left.

The stuff is terribly old fashioned nowadays, but is very handy and can stand temps up to 200C.

The alternatives are PVC tubing for low temps (up to 105C) and fibreglass tubing for high temps ( up to 400C) - both very expensive by comparison.
