Hobby lobby sells a variety of plastic mix, they even have crystal clear for knobs like on the sundial radios. The mix I have very closely resembles bakelite, you can even marble the color by lightly mixing/swirling the dye in last and when you have the dye mixed right you absolutely cannot tell which is the reproduction "unless you look at the shaft end"

Renovated Radios do carry what you need. As for the voltage, a wire should be at least 300V-rated.morzh — 11:13 PM
