MOTM

I don't have part numbers for the 22 gauge wire, but I've got Mouser 
part numbers for the 18 gauge power supply wire:

1        602-3055-100-01       1        11.370    11.37  
          18AWG UL1007 WHT
          Alpha Wire Hook-Up Wire

1        602-3055-100-02       1        11.370    11.37  
          18AWG UL1007 BLK
          Alpha Wire Hook-Up Wire

1        602-3055-100-03       1        11.370    11.37  
          18AWG UL1007 RED
          Alpha Wire Hook-Up Wire

This wire looks identical to the official MOTM stuff, it probably is 
the same stuff.

While we're on this topic, I also picked up a couple of tools for 
fixing wires into MTA connectors (Mouser part numbers):

1        571-598041            1        22.000    22.00  
          156 T HANDL MAINT TL
          AMP MTA .156' Connectors

1        571-598031            1        20.200    20.20  
          100 T HANDL MAINT TL
          AMP MTA .100' Connectors

These aren't the fancy ones with a trigger; these are the T-shaped 
ones that still require a vice to hold the connector and a bit of 
grunting to get the wire in place. I've found these tools to be much 
more reliable than the old pliers method, especially when building 20 
power cables. The results are consistent and perfect each time.

These aren't "must have" tools. But if you're taking in your empties, 
you might want to consider buying yourself a treat with all that 
dough. That's how I celebrated my birthday !
