coiled wires for E-11 blaster

[xanthis02[501st]]

can you use black coiled phone cord which a bit flat or does it have to be round coiled wire?

You could, but it may look sort of funny. It might help to narrow down which E-11 you are going for...ANH, ESB, or ROTJ?

 

They are each slightly different than the other. I have a few E-11 ANH versions and below is a Hasbro mod. For this one, I used craft wire and wrapped it around a pen to get the curls. It's stiff so it does not wobble, like a telephone cord.

I use an old electric shaver coiled wire. It's thin and a perfect match.

it's an ANH hasbro mod like yours jim and where did you get the craft wire

You can pick up the craft wire at Walmart. It's basically copper wire wrapped in a plastic/vinyl covering.
