Anyone have a source for this solid, shielded 2 conductor wire?

This wire between the main in and amp board on my 2238b broke, and I would like to replace it with a similar shielded cable and wire wrap it as it was originally. Anyone know where to get this stuff?

It looks like that might be solid wire, not stranded?

Yeah, it's solid. All the connections in this receiver are wire wrap, which I had hoped to maintain. Best I could find was this Belden 8450, which works but I don't love because 1) is 22awg, not 24. 2) the wire colors are red and black instead of red and white, which makes means I have to heat shrink the black with white heat shrink to prevent confusion, and 3) it has a foil braid instead of a spiral, which I'm not sure is as effective.

But one of the wire wrap studs broke off when I was removing another wire, so I ended up having to solder, and since I was soldering I ended up using some mogami instrument cable (also not ideal since it's a pain to work with due to having fiber cores in the conductors, but it's what I had).
