Anyone know where to find the fine clear plastic tube that Sansui used for cable harnessing?
That stuff is called PTFE tubing. Search ebay and you will see a ton from 2ga all the way down to 2mm.
I found out about this stuff from working on Matchless Guitar amps. Those are full of that tubing. They use it to cover all of the component legs because they are assembled point to point using tag strips.
Here are some links . . .
Got something against dayglo colored zip ties? <G> . . .
That's what this discussion is about - keeping it as original looking as possible.
I too use zip ties, (only white/clear ) but would use the clear tubing if I could get hold of stuff exactly like the original. In a previous employment I used 'waxed string' to tie cableforms.
Confession: I've used those green twisty things that come with Glad bags, but only on old radio equipment.
