Murf just a thought here. I sometimes hear background noise on my sets and have discovered it’s coming from my electric company’s meter, the type that sends my usage back to them electronically. Found it by accident while sitting on my deck with a portable. I noticed it depends on how I orient the radio. I finally walked up to the meter with the radio and it gets worse the closer I get to the point where if I have the set right next to the meter the noise totally drowns out all but the strongest station!

IF can wire size and Rubber mounts?
Renovated Radios do carry what you need. As for the voltage, a wire should be at least 300V-rated.morzh — 11:13 PM
