Original poster: "Barton B. Anderson" <bartb@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>Yep, slinky's work fine. I used a small slinky a week ago while just playing around. It worked just fine. Gold? Nah, too much money and there's a possibility the plating may be ruined if used as a top load.

Original poster: "J. Aaron Holmes" <jaholmes@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> The Slinky folks have started selling a "collector's edition" slinky toy. It's 14kt gold-plated! Somebody with a lot of disposable income ought to snag half a dozen of these, stretch them out just a little, soak them in polyurethane, then stack them to form a TC secondary :-D Sure would look spiffy... http://poof-slinky.com/catalog/catalog.asp?org=3&action=catv&catid=32 Regards, Aaron, N7OE
