The wire I just bought is thick.. Way thicker than I had imagined it being.. I wouldn't expect to see wire like it under the chassis.. The only reason I bought it was because this stuff has the cloth bonded to the pvc.. You can cut it and it doesn't unravel..  I guess it really doesn't matter other than making it look nice and neat.. personal preference.. The wire that is exposed seems it be stranded cloth covered, but its rotten.. I didn't notice any rubber in it..

I know exactly what you mean... I bought the same stuff I think - but I couldn't use it everywhere I wanted to because it was too thick.

You can see the standard Philco stuff in the bottom right here - the reddish coloured twisted pair that goes off to the dial light... it seems to just be a couple of bound layers of cotton or something similar then the woven sheath.  The stuff I bought is just to the right of it (brown/black twisted pair)... Its way too thick to look right, and way too thick to use in places like the large cap block which only has a hole to suit the smaller wire.

Pushback wire should be ok size- and appearance-wise though as it doesn't have the PVC insulation (although the downside is that it also doesn't have a high (or any that I've found) voltage rating).
