where to buy wires

hi i was wondering about where to buy the really small wires, im in australia and all i can seem to find is 1mm wire, in the diagrams i see really small wire like 0.25mm wire can any1 direct me on where to buy it. the 1mm makes it really hard to solder. if u could tell me it would be much appreciated thanks.

Yup as said above, Jaycar is the place to go (DSE doesn't even have anything close to what you need). Wrapping Wire (Kynar insulated wire) is what you need, comes in 33meter spools, about $13.50

im in queensland, and i can tell you that dse or jaycar DO NOT have anything suitable for ps2 mods, the wire is simply to big and bulky, but you can jump on the quantronics web site and they sell rolls...hopefully your in there area as i tried to buy off them the other week and my wire got lost in mail, if they acually even sent it......but dont let my experience ruin your journey's.........after all it was only $13 or something...

I'm in QLD(too bad about the footy last night) and the jaycar I go too have heaps of wire (30awg) suitable for mods.

If you buy a lot sign up with Electus - they are Jaycars perant company - that way you can get it cheaper - else I sell it for $12.50. (Cheaper in bulk)

Jay car sells it for $13.50 - and yes Sean01 they do sell it!!!

WW4344 red, WW4345 black, WW4346 blue (I have blue in stock ATM)

It is AWG30 kynar wire (they call it wire wrap wire). I have been using it and stuff I get from farnell for the last 8 years on PSX to PS2 mods.
