Need some advice!  I set the sub-chassis aside and started examining the main chassis. Most of the wires are "crispy".  Any movement and you can hear and feel the rubber inside the cloth break apart.  This concerns me on the high voltage lines.  Even the wires that come out of the PT are very ridged and will crack with the slightest movement.  I'm thinking of a a complete re-wire including the leads coming from the PT.  It's hard to determine the wire colors and , of course, a lot of the wires with tracers are unobtainium, and there are a lot of them.  I would like to keep it looking original but would really feel better replacing the wires.  What do you guys do in this situation?  Nathan, I noticed you kept most of the original wire.  Were your's in good shape or am I over reacting to the possibility of leakage, especially on the B+ lines?  Russ, I know you've seen corona discharge on high tension lines.  What is your solution?

Thanks in advance!!!
