The radio is, after all, 80 years old. I'm starting to see more of this heat and age-related wear on old cloth covered wires than I used to see several years ago. In addition, I'm being over-the-top extra careful on this set because it deserves the extra care.

I don't think any damaged/frayed wires were due to over-use; after all, one does not fiddle with wiring while a radio is in operation.
