Hi Dave,
There are a few places to get cc wire but it's usually a bit larger in diameter. Not the wire but the insulation. The original stuff is copper wire wrapped with thread then covered with a cloth sheaf. Modern replacement wire has wire with a plastic cover and a woven cloth cover.
If you are looking to original looking I'd (but I'm a nut) either repair the original w/shrink tubing which you don't have to remove the rivets from the spkr plug or find some nos cc wire and paint it to match the original. The original are 3 different colors, and one has a tracer. It's a bit of a job.

When my pals were reading comic books
I was down in the basement in my dad's
workshop. Perusing his Sam's Photofoacts
Vol 1-50 admiring the old set and trying to
figure out what all those squiggly meant.

Now I think I've got!
