[ARC5] vintage headphone cords?

Thanks for the ideas & links, Dave. By the way, is that telephone cord actually tinsel wire inside or are the wires just bundles of fine solid conductors?

I have a very nice Western Electric ship radiotelephone
that uses a W. E. E1 handset.  The original brown cloth-
covered 4-conductor cord was shot.  
One of our fine members- wish I could recall who-
suggested classic telephone repair shops.

I ordered a 4-conductor from these folks:

It came quickly and was of outstanding quality.
Very happy with it.  It was not cheap, but money one
can find.  You ain't gonna find these cords at WalMart ;-)
They even have new tips for tensil wires.
