[Boatanchors] Velcro cable wrap

[Glen Zook]

Actually, I was adding several radios to my main
console and moving several others and when I started
changing the cables around everything suddenly became
a Gordion knot!  Since I did not want to take the
Odephian approach (cut everything to "bits") I have
decided to attempt to make some semblance of order!

to see my starting point.
