I got the one for $350.  I don't know about the newer ones that may be
cheaper.  There are others on Ebay.  Long ago when I was in the market this
one got recommended on the Nuckols forum so I bought it.  They skin you
further on the cartridges.  You will need two different sizes.  Figure 30 to
40 cents per label depending on how big you want the letters.  I started out
printing with the little font and went to the bigger font (more tape length)
cuz it was too hard to read the little stuff.  I wear trifocal glasses.  Not
cheap, but if you do your own wiring, knowing what's what is not an option.
I would recommend this, sadly, as a solid way to keep on top of what you are
doing.  

 

For what is already crimped you can use Rescue Tape.  Google Rescue Tape.
Al, or somebody pointed out you can get silicon tape from McMaster Carr that
is much much cheaper.  I checked and it was way cheaper.   I'd go for a
sample of both and see what you think.  Silicon tape sticks to itself like
nobody's business and you can write on it.

Say all I am looking to a little help with electrical wiring.

I have the wire markers ( the little numbers and letters )

that you tape to the wire as an Identifier. The problem is 

they keep coming off. Now I have put clear heat shirk tubing

on the ones I install now and that works great but I really do 

not want to cut off all of my Crimps to put heat shrink tubing

on the ones I missed. Is there any tips on how to keep these 

little Pieces of tape on the wire???

 

PS I decided to go all electrical and get rid of the Vacuum Gauges.

I did not look like there was a good way to run these Vacuum gauges.

 

Thanks 

 

Ron
