I restore lots of vintage tube-type equip each yr.For folks that use lots of wire, I personally would suggest new 600v rated wire with pvc jacket. Will last a lifetime. Not authentic cloth-type wire, but the 18 ga stranded works well for me personally. I buy a full 250' roll of communications-type cable- wire every few yrs from Interstate Wire & Cable Inc . The communications cable has 12 separate color-coded, individual 18 ga stranded wires all inside a grey pvc jacket. I cut-off about 5' hacks at a time,carefully strip the outside jacket with a exacto-knife, & the yield is 12 individual / 18 ga/ 600v rated wires in separate colors. A 250' spool is about $60 bucks , and shipping is cheap, fast service also. I save lots of still-usable orig cloth wire from old sets, to match if my customers desire it. Seems to me, the prices of new repro clothwire, is not worth it $$, except for the all=original restorations. But then again, I use lots-o-wire here in my shop ea yr, and most wouldnt need that much all in one purchase. One thing for sure, the roll lasts a long,long time & is user friendly too. Very flexible, and solders very easily. Having 250' (each) of 12 different, color-coded wires, all on one spool for around $60, is hard to beat in pricing!!??
