Hi fellas,
I'm cleaning up a 38-62 table top. It's been re-capped and works with a hum. I was replacing a few wires after cleaning out the volume/on-off switch. I notice 4 wires in pretty bad shape going to the power transformer. It has 9 wires coming out of it. My question is can I replace all the wires? I opened up the transformer after marking all the wires and see the top ones don't look hard to replace...however the lower ones look a little tricky. Has anyone re-wired one of these? Are there any tips you like to share? Or should I order a new one? If a new one is recommended...where should I look to purchase it? Can someone let me know which part # I would need?

Thank You,
Jimmy
