Reproducing Fabric-Covered Cable

[Reece]

And maybe back around 1900 when 'lectric got wired into the homestead, grannies asked, "What're them twisted shoelaces doing going into thet lamp?"

[Winky Dink]

Putting some finishing touches on the Radiola 28. Used five feet of shoelace stuffed with eight wires. The cloth wires are spliced to vinyl wires inside the shoelace. The ends are sealed with epoxy to prevent fraying. The other end goes to the DC power supply. It makes nice vintage-looking DC power cable. It exits the cabinet through a hole that was drilled in the bottom of the battery compartment for the original AC-conversion power cable. Shown here next to the original cable from the AC power supply..
