[Milsurplus] Correct wire

[Bruce MacMillan]

If you can't find the original stuff you might try here, John.

http://www.radiodaze.com/catalog-306-page45.pdf
or
http://www.tubesandmore.com   and look under wire and heatshrink. They 
offer parts for the vintage radio people.

I suspect as standards change or evolve that original "spec" 
wire/tubing  may now be out of spec and no longer produced.
The stuff from AES (tubesandmore) is pretty good, especially the laquer 
covered cotton wire.
