g8wayg8r, Several years ago I restored a RCA 10K and everythging went well and I thought I was done. The radio was going to be a Christmas present for my daughter. Just before Christmas I was doing one last check and the audio just died. After being off for a while it worked fine , then died again. When continuity checks were done I found that a cable going from the chassis top to the bottom was the problem. The cable is wrapped and when I removed the wrapping I found that all of the wires had insulation that had rotted out and many chances for signal shorting were available. A complete cable rebuild took care of the problem and the radio is still alive and well in San Antonio. Hope you don't have the same problem.

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