I have two 5-S-150 radios awaiting restoration, both appear to have a plain finish on the aluminum cans. They have the same 5516 chassis as your 5-S-127. I took the cans off one of them and shone them up with Nevr-Dull and they look pretty respectable now. I don't know how you could tell if there was lead on them .... taste them? LOL

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