Hello:

I'm considering replacing a section of the three wire bundle from the speaker plug to midway in the line to the speaker. A fair amount of insulation has cracked here and there. I'm considering shrink tubing, but that might not fit in the bakelite plug opening. Would cloth covered reproduction electric light wire work okay. Probably would work. It would look pretty good. 

Thanks, 

Dave
