Work has restarted on the final stages of the restoration job. The lack of certain key items was holding up the restoration. One of the most difficult items to source was the correct pattern fabric for the loudspeaker. As luck would have it a good friend has a roll of cloth which was bought in the USA. It's unlikely a better match for the original material will ever be found.
A piece of the material has been donated for the project.
Now the restoration is moving on again.
The pictures were taken a month ago.
