Jul 21st, 2025 | | | | Joined: Sep 2008 Posts: 56 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Sep 2008 Posts: 56 | I am in process of re-capping a 1951 AD radio and was wondering if anyone knows what gauges of wire are used inside the radio and a source for the cloth covered wire. Sometime during the life of the radio someone did some repair and used newer wire and crimp connectors so I figure since I have the radio apart I might as well re-wire it. Any help will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks dave

They JUST started the dial lens service a few months ago. Also, I wanted to use the original wire color as it was specified in the schematics but didn't want to buy reels of 20', so I contacted them and they sold it to me by the foot. Great guys!
