Good electronics supplyer for 28awg hookup wire

request botht eh mouser and digikey catalogs.  they're free.  if you are navigating on the websites, you'll overlook some stuff they have.  the company "alpha wire" is what mouser carries if i recall right, its very good wire.  and, 100' spools like you mention.

but they do have smaller spools (i've ordered them), check a different color or coating material.  alpha wire does a few coating styles, and colors, and mouser doesn't carry all the spool sizes for all the colors and types.  the magazines will help with this...  soooo much easier to navigate.

alternatively, radioshack location which still have the little electronics component section have hookup wire.  i've used them before in emergencies, i needed 24 gauge then however, but i would bet they've got smaller for you.  too small a wire can  be the source of signal degradation.  its also important sometimes to get a good quality wire for some applications as the material adds a natural resistance, and better materials/thicker wire less.  sort of like using too thin a wire on big speakers...  but, for gameboy shouldn't matter.  just for the future...  the wire needs to be a bit longer than a few inches too, for the resistance to add up to anything important in applications like this

hope that helps a little

That does help, Kitsch.  Thanks!  I agree, the site is a bit confusing to navigate.  Maybe it's more my inexperience than the site itself, but I for sure was not finding what I needed.

Wilba, I must've missed that one or didn't quite make it far enough into the search results.  I looked through a lot, though.  $15 is more of a price I can handle!  Thanks!

Thanks, that's good to know.  They seemed cool, but my order wouldn't go through. 

Just also realized you can sort on Mouser's site from cheapest to most expensive.  D'oh!  My bad.
