Wire Gauge for Wallbox hook up

What gauge wire do you guys use for a seeburg wallbox hookup? On my
Wurlitzer 1015 I'm using straight telephone wires and that seems to
work fine. Is that enough for the seeburg's?

A little light gauge - normally they recommended 18 to 20 gauge wire,
and stranded is better as it is more reliable in situations where the
machine is moved periodically - solid wire (telephone wire) will tend
to break inside the insulation if flexed very often...leading to
intermittent problems.
