Hi,
I'm restoring a Bally BOPP, and I'm wondering where to get the GI braid from.
On Digikey, which is my first stop for generic parts, they sell it by the 100 ft, and the cheapest one I think might do the job is this:

http://www.digikey.ca/product-detail/en/techflex/MBN0.06SV100/1030-1303-ND/5180699
Might not be that bad a choice, considering they are cheap on shipping compared to US sources, but still wanted to check.

Any other suggestions?

Cheers
Phil

Thank you! Will see how that adds up with the shipping... at least I now know the exact product.

Yep that's what I'm talking about. The kind stapled under the pf.

Sorry, I started the thread at work and wasn't looking at the machine. It's not braided, after all... this here is the stuff.

The "bare wire by the foot" from this link
http://www.pinrestore.com/Supplies.html

Turns out they have the exact stuff at my work. I'll see if I can score a few feet, and if not I'll see if I can order through them.

Dang,
the stuff at work doesn't seem to be tinned, solder just won't stick to it...

Probably, or maybe it's got some coating.
Shipping from pinrestore looks reasonable so I guess I'll go with them and order some more goodies at the same time.

Thanks for the help folks.

An anonymous whistleblower tells me that this is a good replacement, in its 20 lbs rated version:

We don't have a Lowe's up here, but I'll check local hardware stores for an equivalent...

Looks neat!

Finally got this stuff at a local hardware store for 2.50$ / 12 ft.
Looks just like the real deal and solder seems to stick to it pretty well so it looks like a good alternative. I'll let you guys know when I'm done routing it.
