Great advice here and greatly appreciated. The last comment from Phlogiston caught my eye. Do you suggest using modern wire with modern insulation. Seems to me I read (many years ago) about a company that sold modern wire/insulation wrapped in cloth insulation for use on old electronics. Does any one know a supplier?
