OK guys, time to start picking your brains.  In anticipation of having to replace all the wiring in the chassis for it's crumbling insulation I need to get a supply of new wire.  Any suggestions of what gauge wire I should buy?  Also, should I go with solid wire or multi-strand?  A question also about the tubes in the chassis.  Are the XXL tubes interchangeable with 7A4 tubes?  Remember, I'm not the electronic wizards you folks are.  Learning as I go.  Thanks for all the help. Take care, Gary
