    l recently bought a used Gottlieb Crosstown part populated playfield which l intend to renovate and swop into my much worn Crosstown. Very little of the components on the underside of the playfield are salvagable, everything has been removed. De-soldering the light sockets from the earth wire has revealed that it is not in a good state either. Would anyone have any recomendations on what l should look for?, thanks in advance

    Thanks for the information, the link takes you to something that is not available at the present but l have found this.

    l am unsure which size to select, metric and amp. Any thoughts?.

    Thanks again.

    18 AWG is 1mm so something in that range.

    The 0.90mm should do it. You can measure the existing wire with digital calipers, well worth picking one up if you don’t already have one, they are cheap.
