I'm afraid I'm going to damage much of the wire by removing the bakelite and electrolytic caps for stuffing.  I found a place that makes wire with various tracers but am not sure of the voltage rating as it is for old autos.  I'm going to order some and play with it.  It's just so hard to determine the original color of wire.  I have some guides from other sources. but not sure about the Philcos.  the wire coming from the PT is absolutely stiff and will break with the slightest movement.  I don't like hundreds of volts passing through wire with compromised insulation.  I have in the past saturated the insulation of wire with a clear enamel designed for electrically insulating things. In this instance, i'm a little concerned cuz of the exceptionally brittle insulation.
