Hi Joe
Once Philco began building radios again after WWII, they used wiring with an improved plastic insulation that has held up well over the decades so far. Its only drawback: It is very sensitive to extreme heat. When you have a soldering gun on a joint trying to unsolder something, just watch the insulation start peeling off the wires connected to that joint.
