| What is this wire sleeve called |
| (1/2) > >> |
| Ground_Loop:
I'm working on an old Philco radio and need to replace several caps. I will need wire sleeves as shown below, but don't know the official name to search on. I keep getting results for braided sleeve or heat shrink. What is the proper name for this stuff? |
| tszaboo:
Some call it "Insulation tube" |
| Ground_Loop:
Found it. Searched for silicone fiberglass sleeve. |
| AlbertL:
Back when that radio was built, the industry slang term for the tubing was "spaghetti". |
| TimFox:
At the time of spaghetti tubing, it was often varnished cambric woven fabric. |
