While you have the chassis out, you should rebuild the Bakelite block capacitors. The procedure is not difficult, and a little work now will certainly prevent future problems; the originals are sure to be leaky.

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