There is a "Quick Search" box at the top of every page on the Phorum. Please take time to try it out.

Granted, it isn't the best search in the world but sometimes it can be quite useful.

A "Quick Search" for "cotton covered wire" turned up several hits. A search for "cloth covered wire" turns up even more hits, including my thread on the 38-690 restoration I believe you were speaking of (no, it was not deleted).
