Although the wiring is intact on 99% of my 37-116, it doesn't seem to take kindly to being moved around and is threatening to crumble if I disturb it too much.
Two question if I may:
The wiring now appears to be all one color. After almost 70 years it's pretty faded. Does anyone have a handle on whether these were originally all one color? If so what color and if not, is there a reference for period correct wiring color someplace?
I have seen a couple of what appear to be good sources for replacement cloth-covered wire (Radio Daze and Sundial). The Radio Daze is lacquered and the Sundial is not. Any thoughts as to what to use to achieve a period correct restoration? Any experience or preferences out there?
There is a pattern on the present wiring and it would be great to be able to replicate that if anyone knew a supplier.
Thanks in advance
