Hi Vince,

The current from the NSTs is very low ( 0.06 amps) so even very thin wire works
for that.  The big concern is the high voltage which requires a lot of thick
insulation.  So you want just about any wire with thick insulation.  You can
also use plastic tubing over any plane wire too.

Cheers,

        Terry
