What gauge and type of wires are used? I'd like to restore it to original condition. mica Moderator Username: mica Post Number: 6915 Registered: 6-2000 Posted on Friday, August 27, 2010 - 7:48 pm:    We use 24AWG stranded bunch-tinned wire with irradiated PVC insulation. It's OK to use another 24AWG hook-up wire with standard PVC insulation, but be cautious with the soldering, so you don't melt the insulation away (the irradiated PVC doesn't melt at soldering temperatures, but it's somewhat hard to find). jw_bass New Username: jw_bass Post Number: 8 Registered: 6-2010 Posted on Monday, August 30, 2010 - 9:00 am:    Thanks for your help Mica. I found a 100 foot roll of 24AWG 7x32 stranded type B 600 volt irradiated hook up wire at RS Electronics for $34.87.
