Philco 39-7 restore help
#10

I replaced all the crumbling rubber wire with new.  I decided to also replace the four wires inside the IF can just to be sure.  Working carefully it was successful however I did notice that the very small diameter transformer magnet wire that connects to each solder tab appears to have a covering that has deteriorated and allows the individual wires to seperate.  Electrically the connection to the tab is good and secure but I am wondering if I should take some preventative action or just leave well enough alone.  With these small wires the risk to do some permanent damage is high so I though I would ask for some advice here.

Thanks, John
