Proper Cotton Wire
#6

Here's a basic list of the Radio Manufactures Association (RMA) wiring color code for electronics. This is fairly standard among most manufactures. When used it makes troubleshooting easier and easier to follow the wiring. I know that the US built Philco's didn't follow these colors very closely in the 30's. No red, blue, and brown speaker wires they use white, green, and green/white.

The outside diameter Radiodazes standard sized cloth covered wire is pretty large, to my eye it's way too big. I bought a selection of it yrs ago and have used very little of it. Just yesterday I ordered a roll of the small profile wire that Bob mentioned. I'm curious how thick it is. Have a few projects that need some rewiring but it needs to look right.
