PHILCO SPEAKER TRICOLOR CABLES
#9

Hi Ferran,
If you are looking for something that is matching the original I don't think there is anything that with match it. Best recollection is that you are looking for cloth covered wire in green, white/green, and white/blue. Short of getting some single color wire and painting a second on to it. I bought some white and painted with a green tracer and blue tracer. Wouldn't do it again as the white is too bright. Might use a light brown, yellow, or orange for the base color.
In the States there is a standard color code for these wires. Philco doesn't use this code. But it would be blue for the plate lead, red for the hv lead going to the bottom of the output transformer/field coil and yellow for the field coil connection. Some use just modern plastic covered wire.

I was down in the basement in my dad's
workshop. Perusing his Sam's Photofoacts
Vol 1-50 admiring the old set and trying to
figure out what all those squiggly meant.

Now I think I've got!
