Hi .I'm repairing an st keyboard that has track damage across 4 lines.
Is there any cable that you would recommend or just go with whatever smallest I can find. Cheers

Re: Cable for track repairs
I've seen @GadgetUK164 use transformer wire IIRC. Steal it from anything broken with a mains power supply in it.
If the tracks are beefy enough 'kynar' will probably do. I think it's 30 gauge.
