    You can get prickers dirt cheap, maybe fettlebox has them, they are on the bay. If you want a few inches of .006 wire i can send you some, get me your address.

    Glad you gott er running! I use mine a lot and love it!

    The SVEA prickers come up on that auction site. The SIEVERT stamped ones are a lot more, but not the regular SVEA pricker.

    I think it's a high C guitar string but you may also find that a wire from your household wire brush will work.

    The 123 jet size is 0.23 mm (0.009 inches).

    That's one of the gauge sizes of a high E guitar string.
