The creator of the dancing bear logo and designer of the Wall of Sound for the Grateful Dead, Augustus Owsley Stanley III, better known by his nickname, Bear, was one of the most iconic figures in the cultural revolution that changed both America and the world during the 1960s.

Owsley's high octane rocket fuel enabled Ken Kesey and his Merry Pranksters to put on the Acid Tests. It also powered much of what happened on stage at Monterey Pop. Owsley turned on Pete Townshend of The Who and Jimi Hendrix. The shipment of LSD that Owsley sent John Lennon resulted in The Beatles' Magical Mystery Tour album and film.

Convinced that the Grateful Dead were destined to become the world's greatest rock 'n' roll band, Owsley provided the money that kept them going during their early days. As their longtime soundman, he then faithfully recorded many of the Dead's greatest live performances and designed the massive space age system that came to be known as the Wall of Sound.

Award-winning author and biographer Robert Greenfield's definitive biography of this Grateful Dead legend masterfully takes us through Owsley's incredible life and times to bring us a full picture of this fascinating man for the first time.

Great for re-wiring a 12/24v DC PSU for a 3D Printer
Size: 14 gauge silicone wire 10ft and 10ft, Color: silicone wire red and black
I'm familiar with this wire as it was just coming to market as I was fading out of the RC hobby back in ... well the 90's? When I got a roughly cared for and damaged CR-10 for cheap, I decided to remodel it and place the guts and gear under the frame. This wire is thick enough to wire the power plug, MOSFett, and main board with no concern for the 30 A amperage it could draw. It crimped easily, stripped cleanly and is super supple. I paired this with a 7 color pack to re-wire things to arrange plugs where I needed them to be. It's good wire and I may even use some when I dig out my old RC-10 graphite or Bo-Link fiberglass chassis...
