You think a modern sparks knows which end of a soldering iron to hold, pfffff I bet you believe in fairies and that the wife still loves you for your good looks and not your Knipex tool collection.can be repaired. all you need is to repair the conductors in the usual way ( crimp/solder/ heat shrink, then carefully solder some bare 2.5mm bare copper to bridge the lead. heat shrink over the top. where have all the old skills gone.
Trouble is the workman in the video died of lead poisoning at the age of 57.I've always liked that video, proper craftsmanship, I'd love to have those skills. There are a few videos about jointing large lead sheathed phone cables too. The ones on the BT website no longer work.
I was thinking more like the old 0.2 multi core stuff.small blow torch, heat sinks on sheath.
another option is to get the cables into a JB. buckle clip each lead sheath, solder a link between the fly ends of the clips, thus keeping the heat away from the lead sheaths.
Mobiles with cameras.....if only. I wish I had some old photos of jobs. Rows of big leads from bus bar chambers or forty odd pyros on tray, sweeping into a control panel with 3m tails. Probably all scrapped now.I've always liked that video, proper craftsmanship, I'd love to have those skills. There are a few videos about jointing large lead sheathed phone cables too.

Lead sheathed flat Twin cable used in the very early days, and yes I do still rememberGet the impression from the OP that this type of Lead sheathed cable is not what he is on about.
Indeed. But you know as well as I, that doesn't stop us putting up a peripherally related video.Get the impression from the OP that this type of Lead sheathed cable is not what he is on about.
