Hello All,

In the Eros2 kit I didn’t receive blue solid core wire, but I did receive purple tightly stranded wire - am I supposed to use the purple wire instead?

Thanks,
Moodyhh

You definitely should not have gotten any stranded wire.  For whatever reason, the wire factory that makes the teflon coated wire has been having some trouble fulfilling orders for certain colors, so there have been some substitutes, but stranded wire won't really work properly.  I would e-mail replacementparts(at)bottlehead(dot)com to inquire about getting that wire swapped out.
