    Try pinrestore.com. They sell both the tinned bare wire used for GI and 1/4" ground braid.

    Quoted from Spudgunman:

    yea I was hoping for a non pinball reseller.. is this used anywhere else.. 75c a foot is sort of silly.

    I certainly share this sentiment. I recently had a couple PF swaps in the hopper and looked extensively for bare stranded tinned copper wire and couldn't find anything for sale online or locally in reasonable quantities. There are a number of online retailers that offer small spools solid core tinned bus wire (which will certainly work fine for GI) but I want my games to look as original as possible. For me, it was worth paying a little more to get the Pinrestore wire knowing it would look closer to the stuff used in the factory.

    Let us know if you find any other options.

    Even the Pinrestore wire is a little beefier (18 awg, IIRC) than the stuff I pulled off the early SS PFs I'm swapping. It is however very sturdy, easy to work with, and looks great.
