How do you hook-up?

[Jim Simmons]

One good cheap (like free) source for hook-up wire is the connection 
wire from defunct computer power supplies.  It comes in different colors 
and is heavy duty stuff.  I don't know the voltage rating but it is well 
insulated.  Teflon coated is good, but it is cantankerous as all get 
out, like being stiff and unwieldy.  For good high-voltage stuff the 
older test prod wire (like for the old multimeters) is ideal...but 
expensive if you have to use a lot of it, and it only comes in two 
colors (red and black).

When it comes to hook-up wire used during a restoration, do you opt for the "high priced spread", e.g. teflon insulated wire or go for the "oleo" route of the el cheapo R-S PVC-coated stuff that's only rated at 300 WVDC?
