> I bought an assembly manual and started from the back and completely

> Now I am starting from the fromt and it is starting to come together

> Had to spot weld the chassis corners.  I think the chicken banders

> I have now cleaned chassis and installed all new tube sockets and

> wiring harness.
> This is where I need some help.
> The specs in the assembly manual calls for 10 ft of  RG-59 coax   75 ohm.
> I would like to find the miniture type. Regular RG-59 is too thick &
> stiff to work with in there
> The original harness  contained coax without any plastic sheath.  It is
> about 1/8" diameter and very flexable

> Does anyone have some laying around they want to sell,  or where can I

> There are 4 coax leads hooked to V-12,, First & Second Audio
> Any recommendations as to what type coax I should  use and where can I

> I also have a working Valiant in the shack and doing a little cleanup
