. . .specifically looking for solid copper, 26 gauge

The original "zip cord" was a brown, parallel pair of wires. It was
commonly used on table lamps, floor lamps, and small electrical
appliances such as radios. it came in a wide range of gauges from
around 16 gauge through the heavy 10 gauge.

I think he's looking for single strand "telephone" wire - not lamp cord.
