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
