Chassis Rebuild
#9

Ron,
This has turned into an interesting thread, I have learned a lot. I had pretty much concluded that 1939 and later models originally used rubber line cords. But I had assumed that 1937 and 1938 models used cloth-covered as in earlier years, and that those I have seen or serviced with rubber cords were probably replacements. Now I know better, thanks for the info.

Chuck,
I appreciated the link to Bob's Old Radios as a source for period-styled line cords.
