Hi, everyone,

I have a few radios that I need to start restoring. One is a Philco 42-322 and another is a Philco 42-321. On the 42-322, the wires are all cracked up and the insulation is falling off in places. So, my question is what wire would you recommend to replace all of them? And, if you've restored one of these radios, what colors did you use? If I can, I want to keep the color scheme as close as possible.

Thanks in advance, and have a great day. Icon_smile
Patrick.
