The top veneer was very likely walnut or possibly mahogany, some sets used maple or ash and coated over it with a tinted laquer. As for the structural wood it could be tulip poplar, alder, maple, or any number of species, as long as it was dimensionally stable they liked to use it in radio cabinets.

Renovated Radios do carry what you need. As for the voltage, a wire should be at least 300V-rated.morzh — 11:13 PM
