hey sam or chris do you guys have an idea of how many feet are in any particular package?Just curious if I can do a reverse calculation of the wire size based on my yields.

One of the items I got from a local college that was cleaning out a 15 year accumulation of stuff is a spool of wire that I believe may be pure gold, but it might also be tungsten & gold. The label shows "Au-W, Spool No. 90702408, Lot AW-604, Date 86/07/23, Size 80, Thickness 0.30um, Length 100m." The top of the label shows "Tungsten Wire" and the bottom shows "Tokyo Tungsten Co. Ltd.".

I haven't been able to bring myself to test it since it's a complete spool with no wire removed from it. I don't want to diminish its value.

It's obviously gold in color.

Has anyone run across anything similar?

My Google searches have not turned up an answer.

If you try to bend it with your fingers and it's springy it's gold plated tungsten if it's soft and malleable it's fine gold.
