I had a thought about the wiring. I have seen this on other radios. Why did some manufactures use different colored wires going from one point to another? I have never seen a schematic that showed the wire colors.
I would think it would have been more expensive then just using one color. Just a thought i had Stan Ski. Re: Different colored wires by Leigh » Mar Sun 31, am Multi-colored wiring made it easier for the QC inspectors to verify that the radio was wired correctly. Don't ever believe a wire color code to determine the function of a wire, because: 1 wire colors fade and change over time 2 many manufacturers used their own codes that differed from industry standard.

It's easier to make a steam powered lobster trap than a lobster powered steam trap. It's always a bright reddish orange when jumping from any high-voltage point to my finger. And in real old radios, the colors have mostly faded to a beige. Obsessive person tip: Buy a set of watercolor or tempera paints and a small brush.
Repaint the wires on that old Philco. Do them all. Or if you're less than totally obsessive, just repaint the wires visible on the topside-- the wires to the grid caps, the speaker, and the tuning capacitor. It makes a HUGE difference in the radio's appearance and is well worth the 30 seconds that it takes.
A telecine is a device used to make a very high quality transfer of film to video for broadcast. The machines, which were made in England, had thousands of wires in them, every single one of which was pink! Tracing a wire in a harness could be a hopeless nightmare. I once asked one of the company's engineers why they didn't use all the other colors that are available to make things easier to troubleshoot.
He replied that during World War Two, British manufacturers had gotten into the practice of using pink for every wire in a piece of equipment, and that's how they still did it.
They thought it would annoy the Germans and slow them down no end when they tried to figure out how captured military equipment was wired! At one time, there were standardized color codes for radio wiring. It was supposed to make things easier for repairmen, though you had to know which sets followed the code, and which ones didn't. Nobody expected the radios they were making back in the day to be around long enough that fading would be an issue!
Some of those color codes are still used to this day for power and audio transformers. Re: Different colored wires by Unusualdesigner » Apr Mon 01, pm Even today aircraft wiring is white with an occasional black one. Each wire is numbered, though and can be followed in the schematics. Re: Different colored wires by Retired Radio Man » Apr Mon 01, pm Once I had a visitor in one of our labs who looked at a wire wrap card and asked: "What is the significance of the different colored wires".
I answered "absence of white wire". He looked a little funny and then laughed. It was a breadboard card and the techs had used whatever we had in the lab. Re: Different colored wires by Marty, SoCal » Apr Sat 06, pm On cloth covered wiring, I found I could use a permanant marker to color white or yellow wire to match the color codes fairly easily.
A little isopropyl alcohol on a q-tip will even out the color. I was able to add a tracer stripe as needed to match my schematic color code, too. The blue and green wires are dyed from a yellow wire using permamant markers, the red wire is factory made color, the yellow wire is factory color with an added green stripe:.
