1/8" coax sounds like RG-174/U and it is available from many vendors.  
I think a good deal can be had from All Electronics...

You can pull off the black jacket to achieve similar appearance, 
although I'd leave it on for insulation.

This is a Great site.   Progress and one question on my Valiant 
Restoration.
I bought an assembly manual and started from the back and completely
disassembled, bagged, & tagged & tested all components down to the bare
chassis in reverse order.
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
actually used it as a Boat anchor.
I have now cleaned chassis and installed all new tube sockets and
terminal strips, and have just about finished building a complete new
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
buy some?

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
buy it.

I also have a working Valiant in the shack and doing a little cleanup
and re-tubing and replacing R-13 before I put it on the air.

This is my GO TO site for info on my projects.

Many thanks   Frank   KI0RQ
