Bill,I can understand what you mean about leaving things alone but in the case of vintage electronics it's all about safety.With brittle insulation,all it takes is a good bump to start it crumbling.Also,collectors like to use their radios.Even if it's only for just a short time a day or two a month and if a wire has lost insulation it could cause a short and fire just by turning it on.There are a lot of collectables that should never be touched or changed but vintage electronics are not one of them.
