New Cable for TM?

[CarlF]

I've got an old TM, probably 25 years old. The cable from the controller head to the battery is completely disintegrated, insulation is gone, bare wires. Good part is that when I opened up the controller head to remove the wire, inside the head looks brand new inside! I guess being sealed all these years kept any bad stuff from getting inside.
Anyway, what is the best wire to use as a replacement? I am thinking maybe car battery cables from an auto shop or even an old set of jumper cables?

I dont have a need for it anymore, probably going to sell it.
With a new cable, what is an old TM worth these days? Its 36 lb thrust.

Not as much as the cable will cost ya likely...

That is what I'm thinking!
Gotta see if I can find an old heay cable somewhere, maybe one from a dryer or something.
New wire that big aint cheap!
