171,000 still running the original wires, until they go bad I see no sense in changing them

they are solid core wires, the resistor in the end cap can and have gone bad although somewhat rare. I believe the service manual gives an ohm reading to take to check condition.

Thanks for the replies.  I only have 138k on my set sounds like they are barely broke in.
