Hi All - thanks for the input re. wires.
It turns out that I only saw one problem wire.
I opted for the reskinning method. I used some sleeving material that I got from Radio Days (FSLV20). I desoldered one end -- crumbled and slid the old insulation off -- and slipped the new one on. Whole procedure took 5 mins.

Before putting everything back together -- I applied liberal doses of QD4 contact cleaner to the pots and the band selector. That seemed to have cured my missing Short Wave band issue. Everything is working perfectly now.

I absolutely love this radio -- the clarity and tonality are absolutely phenomenal. A testament to the technology of the 1940's.

Happy 4th Everyone.

--Ira
