I've gotten cloth covered 20 gauge wire from vendors at swap meets in just white braided cloth insulation. To color code the wire I use an appropriately colored Sharpie dry marker and draw a "trace color line" on the outside of the wire end to end. As John stated above, I prefer solid core wire to stranded as it will take routing easier with its' rigidity, and proves a lot easier to fit into solder lugs, especially when numerous wires are connected in the same solder point. I use stranded wire only in situations where the wire needs to 'move' with the operation. Take care and BE HEALTHY! Gary
