Striker Posted July 21, 2011 Report Share Posted July 21, 2011 Sorry if this has been asked before but i could not find anything searching on this. What is a more accurate size/thickness of the wires for an E-11? I can post picks at the moment but wanted a few Opinions on what to use. I do have a few options at the moment( what I have at home lol) which are 1) Cell car charger wire(this seems to be the right width becuase it is a little more thins than normal coled wires)Like this http://www.amazon.com/LG-CU920-Phone-Charger-Vehicle/dp/B001C3TI5W 2) I also have really thin black coiled wire that you usually see attached to a pen in a bank lol(so you dont steal it)Like this http://www.displays2go.com/product.wide.asp?ID=11422 . Just let me know what you think. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gazmosis[501st] Posted July 21, 2011 Report Share Posted July 21, 2011 Just to chime in on what I used.......electrical wire for model trains. Small diameter and copper core co when wrapped tightly around a pencil, it holds its shap...no drooping and can be in ANY position you want. Hope this helps!!!

Smitty Posted July 22, 2011 Report Share Posted July 22, 2011 I use black 14 or 12 guage wire and coil it around a screwdriver shank when I make mine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TK bondservnt[501st] Posted July 22, 2011 Report Share Posted July 22, 2011 (edited) those are all nice wires... but they are wrong. here's a screencap. the wires attach BELOW the pins on the hengstler with silver solder to the front of the brass metal case. one wire is red, and the other is green actually! they are insulated small connection wires like you'd see inside a PC board. too bad the screencap is in black and white. the inboard wire is connected in series with the outboard wire. left to right. see how the left wire bends around to the right rear?

ZacMuleer[TK] Posted November 14, 2011 Report Share Posted November 14, 2011 Are the wires required for Centurion? it's listed in the requirements, but I've seen discussions of screen examples without wires. I'm just not a fan of the wires in general, so if I can avoid them on my blaster, all the better... Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
captsafe66[Admin] Posted December 18, 2011 Report Share Posted December 18, 2011 Nice question, any better, close up pics of the wire attachment or the need for them at all? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
