Are we taking transformerless sets? Series strung jobs? I find that the rectifier and the audio output do have a higher failure rate. When the heaters don't light those are the first I check. Sometimes there is a paper cap between the plate and the heater on the rectifier that will blow out the tap for the dial lamp if it is bad.

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