I was considering Oval 9's several years ago, was going to buy used. but almost every picture I saw had exactly what you describe, a greenish color on the cable. Deal breaker for me....
Oxidation on surface of cable under clear jacket
Wondered if anyone has had this problem. I have a pair of “Oval” cables I was going to reintroduce into my system. They’re 15 years old. I noticed that green oxidation had formed over a length of the cable under the clear jacket. Since there is shrink tubing over the spade connector, so I can’t tell if the oxidation has reached the connector. Problem is the manufacturer’s warranty was over many years ago. They weren’t inexpensive. Seems others have had the same issue. I guess I’ll give them a call to see what can be done, but I’m not optimistic. I do have another manufacturer’s cables I can use if this can’t be remedied.. Your thoughts?
Seen it worse than this ....
