Hello all,
Please see attached picture.

Please give advice on what you would do, if anything, to the wiring where they meet the winding connections. The wires are a little loose and fear breakage based on age after all is re-built and in working order.

Is it reasonable to take some liquid electric tape and add a little on top or around the connection point(s)?

Thanks for your help.

And yes, that's a University of TN cup. Not Texas!!!:) Maybe we can have a better game against Georgia next week than Oklahoma. Young OLine makes it tough.

Also evidence of zip lock bags to keep things organized!! Very handy.

The insulation appears to be in good condition. A small plastic zip strip cable tie will secure it. I assume you do not have lacing twine!:D

Yes it is. It's the actual wire where it goes into the winding connection I'm worried about.
I'll look at your suggestion and no I do have any lacing twine handy.

The wires have some open insulation along the length.
I am fixing that.

Thanks
