In average, how many feet of ground braid in a sys11, let's says Pinbot in the case?

How many in a WPC, let's says Fish Tales?

How much to get to be on the safe side and not run out of it in the middle of the job?

I took mine off my Pinbot but I must have 5-6 strings of 2 to 8 feet long.

If I remember correctly when I redid my FT it was 25' and that was about exact.

You can get the exact length for WPC games by looking at the "parts list" (aka Bill of Materials) for the game (download it from www.ipdb.org) - search for part number 20-9223.

They seems to sell it in 50ft (46$) roll at me local electronics store, I should be able to do both games if I don't mess up.

I read it's including the ground in the cabinet wiring harness as well which should be deducted. I'm sure lots of people who re-did their cabinet can give me exact figures.

I like 25ft better as an answer

The amount of wire needed depends on if you want to use as little as possible or if you want it to look good as well

What you read is incorrect; the BoM lists lengths individually for cabinet, cabinet harness, and back box.

Do you have a number for each case? I guess 2-3 feet more for the clean job. That would be fine.

Sorry I don't have exact numbers, but it seems like I needed around 35' to do STTNG.

My Pinbot back box braid was not laid down nicely around like that. Good job!

Thanks for the numbers!
