Wow, what a serious animal.
There are some that are well cracked, the black ones, that carry the filament voltage, red (same signal, coming from the power transformer), a couple of beige ones. I just finished my #206. If yours is an animal, mine was Godzilla in comparison( my other thread has a photo)..All the same,the transformer in my set, when put apart, had those great soldering lugs which made the cracked wires replacement super easy. Concerning the grid wires coming from the top of aluminum cans one must be very careful removing the coils. I had to drill out the mounting studs the get the coils out and replace the grid wire. I changed the entire wiring for a good measure. It may look good undisturbed, but will crack at the slightest movement.The naked stranded wire wrapped around the grid wire - some sort of shielding - one end is grounded, and the wire is coiled around the grid wire until it is terminated close to the grid cap.
