Cloth-covered Electric Wire
By Stephen Kent Goodman

>> Recently Stephen Kent Goodman wrote about reproduction antique wiring
>> supplied by Sundial Wire Company.  I noted that he ordered #10 wire
>> (which is good), but their catalog lists wire as small as #22 awg.
>> ... Smaller gauges are dangerous and present a fire hazard. ...
>> Ed Kigler


Dear Ed,  I heartily agree.  I recommend the #10 wire, as it is the
closest I have seen to what manufacturers like Seeburg et al used
originally, from their coin mechanisms to their motors and lights.
This wire isn't for everyone, just those seeking an authentic
restoration.

Sincerely,
Stephen Kent Goodman
