Hi everyone, I'm new to this radio thing and admit that I have a tremendous amount to learn.
I have a couple of 42-PT94's that I'm going to try to re-cap and see where it goes from there. The wiring is rubber insulated and some of it looks pretty cruddy, some crumbling. What wire should I use to replace with? Stranded cloth insulated, 20 ga.? Solid vinyl insulated 22 ga.? Are colors just to visually be able to trace them, or is there a color code that I need to adhere to?
Thanks for your help now and for all that I'll need down the road.
