I have just one comment. You said the old wiring the insulation is brittle but the wire inside seems good. That is usually the case, the wire is good but when the insulation is brittle it will flake off somewhere and the "good" wire underneath will short out on something. If the insulation is coming off you really need to either replace the wiring or use shrink tubing over it to protect from a short.
