So, I've been looking for a maypole braider so I can make my own wire.  Way too expensive, so back to using what's available.  Sometimes originality just has to go out the window.  Does anyone really know what the wire colors looked like originally?  They've all aged and faded.  You are correct, Ferran, amperage is low so 20 and 22 AWG will handle most situations (except I am working on a Scott Philly that feeds the filaments of 27 tubes through a 2' cable - that needs to be more like  16 AWG).  Almost all cloth covered wire today has too large an outside diameter.  Hence my desire to make my own.  Not possible unless a lot of people want to buy it!
