The "list" I meant was this forum - sorry for the shorthand jargon. You can use the text search box on the Bottlehead Forum to search earlier "posts" for threads about this topic, maybe a couple of years back.
Your questions are good ones; I am not as helpful as I'd like to be because the kits I built predate the current models.
The early Bottlehead kits came with relatively exotic copper wire, maybe designed originally to wind coils or magnets, that came with just a clear insulating coating that was very difficult to strip off. This wire was hard to solder cleanly and I think it was expensive, so later kits use something else. You could use whatever extra wire may be left over after building the kits.
Can others on the Forum enlighten us on what is used now for connector wire, or is it all shielded cable now? If it's the latter, can someone knowledgeable give advice as to which end of the shield to connect to ground and which to leave unconnected in this case (Seduction to Foreplay), or do you ground both ends of the shield? If it is plain connector wire, then you use it to connect the signal output from each channel of the Seduction to the respective input channel of the Foreplay. Others should chime in on this as to placement of grounds in the FP3 (is there still a ground buss?) and how to ground the Seduction to a FP 3.
Thanks!
