Tom, Since you work with wires, do you know of a way to identify colors of wires? I had asked doctor Benham to make me something up and he said he knew of something that would work, but he never did get a chance to finish it.
I'm only interested for something in a housing situation where there would be 4 colors at most. Automotive with their tracer system confuses people so I couldn't expect a machine to get it right. I've used the one from MaxiAids but even after drilling a hole through the side of the cap to allow the wire and not extra light, it can't pick up black or white. Usually they are called gray, sometimes "very dark gray" which is encouraging until both wires are labeled the same color... If you guys have come up with something I'd love to hear about it.

It needs a fairly big area of the desired color to get good results, thus unless you burn an area of a square inch or so consistantly, I doubt it would be found.
