Hi,
Because pinball wiring does have its own specification, I would like to know where I could purchase appropriate wires in green, blue, yellow, red.
Thanks

I made my own small runs of striped wire and it works pretty well.
Buy a pack of cheap medium nib paint pens from Amazon.
Take a few feet of hookup wire. I attached hemistats to both ends and then turned one about 10 times. Then I laid the wire stretched straight on a piece of cardboard and ran the paint pen sideways down the wire. Untwist and voila -- very nicely striped wire.
I got this kit in 18GA and 22GA
Cherry Hills Village, CO
This place will custom color stripe wire from 8-20 gauge

I would ask High_End_Pins (Chris) what he does.

Pretty sure he buys huge quantities of the stuff!

I do almost the same thing!
I use hemostats and twist the wire 1 turn for every 2 inches and clamp them to saw horses. I have a small block of wood that I drilled a hole all the way through to slip the wire in, and a second hole that holds the paint pen...then I just slip this across the wire and done
