For general purpose hook-up wire this should work.

All my antique radios used copper or tinned copper which looks like aluminum. Aluminum wire does not solder.

Quality is great but the yellow wire is much more cream and sure as heck doesn't look remotely close to old yellow fender wires.

The perfect wire to fix any vintage style amp, new, clone, or antique. Nyms

This stranded core, lacquered cloth covered wire is a very close reproduction of the wire used in old 1920's radios. It blends in well with the old wiring of the antique radio, however, the outer diameter is a mite smaller. It will look good and blend in well with the original 1920's radio wiring. And before soldering, the wire will have to be tinned. A good reproduction wire.

This wire is very well made. It is perfect for home-made antique-style radios. The color matches very well to the photographs. A very high-quality product!

This is good wire. It would be super nice (5 star) if it was available pre-tinned.

Wish the wire was more flexible. Barely able to squeeze 4 wires inside in a 2 part speaker plug.

I am also surprised how thick this wire is (3.25mm). Very bulky and difficult to work with.

I agree with another reviewer about the outside diameter. While the wire appears to be well made, the bulkiness of the wire is not easy to work with, such as making bends and lead dress. The chassis wiring doesn't look good using this wire in my opinion.
I bought a bunch of different colors of this wire in solid and stranded core a couple years ago and haven't used it for hardly any of my builds.

I was surprised at the thickness of the insulation, to be truthful. I wish there was mention of the actual Outside Diameter of the wire, I measure 0.1285", or 3.25mm, which is a lot for 20 AWG wire. Referencing a published wire table, the actual conductors are 10 strands of #30 (0.0100") wire, for a combined 20 AWG (about 0.0400", or 10x 100 mils) so the actual wire is on the mark for dimension. Had I known how thick this stuff was, I would not have bought it. Being so thick, it's hard to work with and lead-dress nicely, and just looks out of place in the amp chassis I am building. It is cloth covered, and does look "period correct", but not what I was expecting. I suppose it will easily meet its 600 volt rating! Please publish more information in your wire specs. I don't know what I'm going to do with this stuff, really.
