Steve D: Thank you very much, you are very generous. I'm still learning about radios and learning to be patient has been, and will probably continue to be, a lifelong struggle for me;) This is probably good practice at that.
Morzh: You're right, that is the line filter bakelite. That wire was spliced by someone else before I got it. I see what you are talking about in that the insulation on the original wire looks cracked in the picture. I'm going from memory now, but I know I looked at that wire when I was under there and I don't recall the insulation being cracked so I decided to just leave it as I found it. I'm sure the RF coil will be going out on this set sooner rather than later, so next time I have it apart I will examine it again closely to be sure. Thanks for looking out for me though!!
