Does anyone know where I can get a 6 (or 8) conductor cloth covered cable for an A/K 20c. I need about 12'.
I tried to e-mail RadioDaze at "info@radiodaze.com" but can't get through to them. They have an 8 conductor cable made specifically for these older A/K sets; their code # is MCC8 for $2.33/foot (10 ft or more). Any help would be appreciated. Thanks

Jon; Thank you !

I usually make similar cables up by pulling wire through a large brown bootlace. One reason I do this is I like to use a heavier guage wire for the filaments if the cable is longer rather than use the lighter guage wire that is used in some of the new premade cables.

Ed; Thanks for the great tip!!
One major problem I have is that the original cable on this A/K 20c has 6 leads but the colour has all faded so when I install the new cable I can't fiqure out from the schematic what lead goes where. I have a brand new Arbe 111 which shows me how to connect the leads from the set but until I can figure out what lead goes to where on the set, I can't do much. Any suggestions? I am new to these 1920 battery sets having worked on typical 1940 a/c sets only.

I do a lot of 20's radios. I usually end up checking for continuity with a meter from the power supply end of the cable to components on the chassis as indicated on the schematic. If you are replacing the cable you may find the colors of the individual cables still good when you remove some of the outer cable covering.
