Pulled the chassis out of my 39-55 I found a couple of months ago and I'm sure you can guess, the rubber wires are completely rotten. I've used salvaged computer power supply cables for years, usually a good color assortment of 18 and 20 awg wire for small jobs. Since the 39-55 has about 2 miles of rubber wires, some quite lengthy,  I need to order some and would like to order an assortment of colors. I know a man can never have too much wire but if I were order some just for radio work, what size, strand count, solid etc. is reccomended  by those who know?

Thanks
