Is there a source for the type of wire used in older sets? I'm guessing it's a hybrid type of woven covering. Not quite plastic and not quite cloth. If I strip enough cover off the red tap wire, once soldered back on, it won't reach the "HI" connection. I'd really like to use the same color wire so it won't look out of place. I know the set is closed 99% of the time, but it would bother me.

If not, another option would be to strip enough off to solder on bare wire to length it, wrap that wound the post and then solder it. Won't be perfect, but should get the length to the point it reach to all three points of connection.
