replacing the internal wiring harness if it is good would be a crime. That harness and the workmanship that went into it are part of the machines history. They do not move and are usually salvageable if you surgically spliceUncle Vanya wrote:Well, Sundial has a pulley cord in green which is a dead ringer for the original Victor stuff.

It's kind of like upgrading vintage motorcycles/automobiles to be safer to operate, and as nice as the cabinet looks in that cell phone pic, it is currently not a museum piece as the exterior has been gone over with something to leave some drips/runs in the finish.Uncle Vanya wrote:I'd strongly recommend replacement of the wiring harness. At thusvlate date it is an accident waiting to happen. A custom harness would be the perfect solution, of course, but perfection being the enemy of the good, a new unit made of Sundial Wire without the overbraid would do, and would leave you with a machine which you could safely leave plugged in.
your new piece onto it.I have over 20 machines with good condition wiring harnesses. I am in the electronics industry so my knowledge of what is safe and what is not is more than just nostalgic.If it is mouse eaten then change it by all means.Too many of these things are being made into pvc queens.Yours looks salvageable to me.
A beautiful machine you have..preserve what you can using common sense..soon there will be no more left!
