Simple answer ... if it ain't broke don't fix it, and don't re-route it from its' original placement. Address any frayed or rodent-chewed wiring only. Rerouting to a more 'pleasing' look can sometimes introduce signals that were originally routed to shield against. Cloth wire holds up well for its' years in most cases. Take care and BE HEALTHY!
