Elliott, the best thing to do is re wire it. You can get kits with all the color wire or you can do it one wire at a time. Is this table really worth the effort? Even with skinny fingers you would have to take things apart. If it was put together it can be take apart. Look at it as a challenge. The thing is toast already so there is not much you can do to make it worse. Good practice!
mice ate insulation off many small wires inside TT. Liquid Electrical Tape, .......????
I have two old Misubishi Vertical TT,'s: LT-5V to make 1 working TT
Took the backs off. One had mice or some small creatures living there, some snuggly stuffing gathered inside, and, they chewed the insulation off many of the small wires, so bare wire is near bare wire in many many places.
If I ever try to get this one to work, I will need to cover the bare parts to avoid shorts.
And experiences, or advice?

I suppose I could spray this kind of stuff on some cardboard, and use an artist's paint brush to coat them, but it could get messy, perhaps I can mix it thinner with something???

sugru can be shaped, but the wires are close together and I have big hands and numb fingers
