The schematic for the Teletype Model 15 says "ALL WIRES WITH COLOR SHOWN
ARE ARTSILK COVERED DELTABESTON." "Deltabeston" was a General Electric
product using felted asbestos insulation. See

Probably a good idea not to strip any existing wire in the early machines.
Either leave in place, or replace completely.
