A nice resistor kit just came in - Needed one of these anyway!
I also needed, and ordered 20 gauge hookup wire in a kit of colours. I suppose one has to use PVC insulated stuff these days? I plan to use cloth covered wire where it was used originally, but the PVC to replace the rubber covered stuff. It is a shame to lose original materials, but it is very crumbly. Since this isn't a pristine original radio, it seems to be an easier choice to replace with more modern (and reliable) materials, especially as the goal is to ensure it is safe to operate.

I don't hold with furniture that talks.
