I have just picked up some of this rather nice wire (impulse buy whilst buying transformers and tubes!)
From merchants website:
"22 awg, solid core, 50 ft. spool. The "real-deal" wire for vintage amp work, from the same manufacturer that supplied it to Fender. Double-cloth jacket has a waxed cotton outer braid and a Celanese inner braid. Now you can snip, push-back and solder without reaching for the wire strippers!"
it is certainly sexy....
Should this be OK for wiring of power transformer, OPTs, motor run cap, choke etc? Or should I go for a heavier gauge?? I figure I shouldn't see currents over 175mA, given that is the capacity of the transformer, and higher currents are all on the PCB tracks (heaters).....
TIA

For chassis wiring (short distances and point-to-point), 22 AWG is rated for 7 Amps. I wouldn't worry about it, although I'd prefer to use something a little heavier (18) for the heater connections if they're not just directly connected to the power tranny.
