UFO:

Have a read here first: http://arcadecontrols.com/arcade_wiring.shtml

These guys sell arcade grade wiring: http://www.ebay.co.uk/sch/i.html?_odkw=&_osacat=3944&_armrs=1&_ssn=arcadeworlduk&_trksid=p2045573.m570.l1313.TR0.TRC0.Xwire&_nkw=wire&_sacat=3944&_from=R40

PL1:

Single strand doesn't work well with crimps because the single strand does not compress.

Crimped connections work because the metal sleeve arms compress the strands together and the strands try to return to an un-compressed state.

The easiest way to get good reliable connections for a daisy chain is to buy a prefab one from Paradise Arcade (they have a GREAT pre-crimped wiring selection) or another arcade vendor.

If you want to crimp your own, stranded wire is a must IMNSHO and ratcheting crimpers are highly recommended for consistent results.
