Day 22: Rewired

Prepping the wire for soldering, and of course routing. It pays to keep attention to detail to get every little thing right. Home Depot had the wire I needed for $4.95 a spool (24 ft/spool) with most of the original colors. The original colors were black, yellow, green and pink. I have replaced pink with red, because I could not find pink wire. Leave it to Spain to use pink. The old pink was so bleached out from time it looked white anyway. Here is the finished product before the housing is put on the wire so everyone will know it is good as new!! This should last another 40 years. Good 16 AWG wire with very solid solder points. Now to install the housing over the wire, mount the plate and properly set the points.
