Ditto what Brian said regarding original length and locations of the wires.

I have used a BBQ lighter and even a regular lighter at times; but I find using an Aladdin lamp is easier for me, especially when I have a lot of tubing to shrink - and any 1939-42 Philco is going to require a lot of tubing if the resleeving method is used.

As Brian said, special care must be taken. Hold the flame on one spot of the tubing too long, and the tubing will bubble and burn. The same thing could happen if I held the tubing still over the Aladdin chimney. The trick is to keep the tubing moving over the chimney, or keep the flame moving across the tubing.
