Deteriorating rubber wire is a common problem. You can replace with new plastic wiring - RadioDaze is where I buy mine: http://www.radiodaze.com/22awg-solid/
Be careful to use the same length wire and run it exactly like the original (location matters).

Another option is to keep the original wiring but replace the insulation with similarly colored heat shrink tubing. Ron did this on his 41-226: http://philcoradio.com/phorum/showthread.php?tid=14923
