Hi Ben,
I have to agree with you that all the components are a 'dog's dinner'! It looks like almost everything has been replaced with whatever came to hand. The two motor caps are especially fine!!

There is a good selection of fabric covered mains leads available on Ebay. I've found some almost exact matches for '30's sizes & colours. They are modern 2 or 3 core pvc flex with a woven fabric outer in various colours. They look very good.

Good luck with what will turn out to be an interesting restoration!

Cheers
Nick
