The state of cloth covered wire varies. On the 38-116 it was still pretty pliable so I left it alone. Even it's stiff I usually only replace cloth wire that has cracked or been damaged. To me stiff cloth wire that is intact isn't a problem (unlike rubber wire that is flaking of insulation).
On a 37-650 I worked on the cloth wire was in worse shape so I did replace the wires that had to be moved (e.g. going to RF sub chassis).
In replacing wires there's not only the difficulty of obtaining original looking wires but also the concern for keeping wire placement / routing the same.
