Another source for that super flexible wire is replacement cable for phonograph pickups.  Where one might find such these days is up to the resourcefulness of the seeker.  However, even RatShack used to stock it.

Super-flex is made using the same techniques as Litz except each strand is not insulated.  The reason for that is the wire is very flexible, like used for test probes.  You can buy Super-flex from Cooner Wire in many sizes and with different insulation types.  Can you say if it's used in an application between moving parts?

I suspect you are correct as the application is for 3 V DC between moving parts!  All I have are a few strands coming from a soldered connector that looks like litz.  Many thanks for the Cooner tip.  I'm studying their website now!
