Proper hookup wire to use
#5

you can get all the wire you need from a scrap automotive engine bay or computer harness.

solid single conductor is not a good idea. two or three movements of it and the physical connection is prepared for breaking.

i put up a picture of a way to consolidate wire into one spot instead of a wire reel holder.
I thought about the wire reel holder system and decided i didnt want to dedicate space to it in my garage.
The system i show allows you to put all your wire in one container.

you just sit there and starter thread each color into the lid.
when thats done all the wires are haning off the lid.
you just bundle everyone up into a spiral down into the container.

This container i made as one of my gifts to my son for one of his birthdays... he geeks out on this kind of stuff also.

my wire container is much larger, its an old weight gainer jug with a huge lid.  you could use one of those cheese ball containers if you had a lot of wire.


your saying "restore" so if thats completly true then ignore this post.
