I realize this isn't audio related, but I'm in the process of rewiring a bunch of antique lamps. I could use a 50' or 100' spool of lamp 18ga 2-conductor lamp cord. The local hardware store charges 40-80 cents a foot. Any suggestions where I should look online for lamp cord and other parts?

I would think that digikey or mouser should have it.

Allied also has it, and has a 250' roll of Olympic clear jacketed on clearance:

4th or 5th item down IIRC for $67

first hit on google seems to have it for $0.19 a foot.

I bought lamp cord a lowes fairly cheaply.

Err, what was the search term you use?

I found this, which works out to 20 cents a foot shipped. I don't exactly need 500 feet, however.

"lamp cord spool"
