Spacemouse, I have enjoyed following your saga with your layout. I just caught on recently. It sounds like you are a little new to this. So am I. But from one newbee to another, I am using atlas switches with atlas undertable switch machines. They work well for the $. The tortoise machines that you asked about earlier would be nice in the long run. For the wire, I bought bulk 18gauge solid bell wire from local hardware store. You can get this in 2 or three wire. The 3 wire is perfect for the switches. One color for each pole. Only about $.18/ft. I like the solid wire (as opposed to stranded) because it makes a nice hook around the screw and holds better. Good luck. Jeff
