Although the AK Open Sets (breadboards) only need 4 or 5 leads for the power cable, this cable is the correct thickness, whereas the ones with fewer leads are too thin. I simply double up the A+ and A-B- leads and clip off any extras. The color is likely the same as the original power cables on these sets before fading.

I have used this cable in my battery radios. It is spot on correct. It looks very professional and accurate.
I bought the 3 wire cable for my Aeriola Sr., I used the 8 wire cable for most other radios and just cut back the wires I don’t need!
Keep making and selling this great product.

I actually needed a 5 wire (90+, 45+, 45-, 6+, 6-) cable but this 8 conductor worked fine. Nice looking cloth cover goes well with my 1925 Thorola. Good quality cable.

While I only needed 5 conductors, I could always remove the 3 I didn't need. Used for the Magic Eye bundle on a Silvertone - perfect product.

Buying this MULTI-CONDUCTOR CLOTH COVERED CABLE - 8 CONDUCTOR saved me money on my radio restoration projects. 8 colors does the trick.

This is a perfect cord replacement for a nice restoration of the vintage battery radios.

This wire is useful for restoring antique radios & TV's. I will use it mostly for
repairing and rewinding power and audio transformers to keep them looking original. Having the 8 colors is helpful for this purpose. Cloth covered wire has become expensive and hard to find and I only want USA made wire. This is the best value I have found and would recommend this wire.

I'm old enough to remember seeing this cable in the radios that I fixed in my shop in to 50's. It was typically the cable that went up to an eye tube, or to a tone and volume control complex, or the cable to field coil and output transformer on the speaker. I'm restoring an 1940 GE FE-112 radio now and side by side, this is the exact thing.The listing does not show the wire gauge, it looks like 18 or 20 to me.
