Philco wire color to stock up
#1

Hello guys,
I had question about The cloth covered wire colors that I should have to use in 1930s Philcos
Here is a list that Chuck made wire colors

The other I have bought both 20 gauge plus 22 gauge .

Rich,

I used to think that was somewhat important.
But looking at the colors that are being offered, texture of the cloth, and the overall look, I could tell that wire from the original at half a glance.

I also have been trying to find a decent AWG24 wire, and all I find is guitar wire which, even if it could be used in some places, still lacks the voltage rating appropriate for usage in tube circuits.

So I am using up what I have and mostly use black and brown types.

People who do not drink, do not smoke, do not eat red meat will one day feel really stupid lying there and dying from nothing.
