The 39-6 is very similar to the 38-12. Lower B+, so the 75 tube does not need the shield (nor does it have one).
But, yes, the 39-6 is full of rubber-covered wires. Including the power transformer leads.
I've opened many an IF can to replace, or resleeve, those rubber leads. It is not difficult at all. Now, putting new color-coded heat shrink tubing over power transformer leads can be a challenge. It isn't really difficult, either, just a bit time-consuming. You must do this. Otherwise, when you least expect it, ka-boom - the power transformer could short out from bad rubber insulation.
