I'm just beginning the restoration on this radio and in doing the initial visual inspection I found 2 cloth covered wires that need to be replaced due to fraying, there was a mouse nest in this one. There are only a few cloth covered wires in the whole set and I'm wondering if there is some special reason that this type of wire is used. The 2 wires that need replacing are in section 4 of the schematic, represented by the two squiggly lines, test point C, to a ground lug on the tuning condenser, and to the FM aerial coil L402. Can I use a plastic covered wire in its place?
