A less cruel set to get wire from would be an 80's console TV. Many of those attached the controls to the PCB with 1-4' long harnesses that are often fairly decent for tube work. Some time ago I took such a harness from a Sylvania and built an audio amp with a tube count comparable to a TV with it.
I agree.. I'm not going to junk another tube set to strip the wires.. Besides I don't have any junk chassis lying around.. Its just easier to have a spool of each incase I need to extend some wires or need to replace any bad wires..
