Al,
You say "The ultimate aim is not to do a full restoration as such, simply to tidy the receiver up", which could imply that you've alreafy ruled out the "wholesale total dismantle and re-build". But from the description you give of the receiver it sounds like this might be the best way to go and take less time overall. I don't think this approach means that you have to replace every piece of wire, treat it in a case-by-case basis. Rather than the "usual coloured PVC wiring" I would recommend silicone rubber insulated wiring as more robust and heat-proof. I confess that the only source I have found for this in the full range of colours is from the chap who sells it at the NVCF.
