Replacement part for vintage model rocket

[Dissonance]

Hello! I'm building a vintage model rocket I got from eBay. I need a replacement part. I am looking for a straight piece of 1/32" steel wire. As I search for wire, I find wound wire. Is there a place I can purchase straight wire? Thanks!

no hobby stores nearby?

What model?

My first thought is to seek out the K&S metals rack at Hobby Lobby or your local Ace Hardware store if you don't have a proper hobby shop nearby. These days you may have to buy several 3-foot pieces of 1/32 music wire in a bundle, but you'll have a long term supply that way.

Thank you all, this was very helpful. I was able to order what I need. To answer your questions, no, there is no local hobby store where I live and the model is the Estes Thor Agena B.

My local Ace has a K&S rack. I was going to suggest that.

When you need something odd and money is no object, McMaster Carr is the place to go. It is the Mechanical Engineers equivalent to EE's Mouser or Digi-Key
