Yes I know there were posts about this but cannot find it. Ron mentioned a good source for cotton covered wire including an automotive parts dealer( I think) and I even looked on the sites but things got deleted!
The cotton covered wire above my chassis on my 444 and Volksempfanger are faded and kind of ratty. Why I don't know as they are only 83 and 86 years old??
Now for the gauge especially on the grid cap connector and various places under the chassis. Why so thin and a guess would be no more than a 1/16 of an inch diameter on the outside of the insulation whereas the other two grid cap connection wires are probably 16 gauge. The thin wire is for the PENDD61 and like other Philco pass through the rivet hole. Where is a good source and what are common colors? The schematics don't indicate colors either.
